The Morning Star ‎#101

101. Oh, how I love Jesus

1 Jesus, I love Thy charming name,
'Tis music to my ear;
Fain would I sound it out so loud,
That all the earth might hear.

Chorus:
Oh, how I love Jesus!
Oh, how I love Jesus!
Oh, how I love Jesus!
Because He first loved me.

2 Yes, Thou art precious to my soul,
My transport and my trust;
Jewels to Thee are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust. [Chorus]

3 All that my ardent soul can wish,
In Thee doth richly meet;
Nor to my eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet. [Chorus]

4 Thy grace shall dwell upon my heart,
And shed its fragrance there;
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care. [Chorus]
