Tune: | [Jesus, would that I could tell thee] |
Composer: | J. L. Ensign |
1 Jesus, would that I could tell thee
How I love thy very name;
O, what sweet affections fill me,
Burning with a quenchless flame.
Thy rich goodness, Thy rich goodness,
Is my never failing theme.
Chorus:
Thy rich goodness, Thy rich goodness
Is my never failing theme.
2 Thou hast come from heav'n to save me,
Lost and ruin'd in my sin;
Thou art pleading now to have me,
One with God and pure within.
O, what mercy, O, what mercy!
Jesus died my soul to win.
Chorus:
O, what mercy, O, what mercy!
Jesus died my soul to win.
3 I will love thee, O my Saviour
I will praise thee day by day;
Honor, thee in my behavior,
All thy wise commands obey;
Till in heaven, Till in heaven
I shall join the angels' lay.
Chorus:
Till in heaven, Till in heaven
I shall join the angels' lay.
