Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Laudes Domini #395 (1888) First Line: Jesus! I love thy charming name Lyrics: 1 Jesus! I love thy charming name,
'Tis music to mine ear;
Fain would I sound it out so loud,
That earth and heaven should hear.
2 Yes!--thou art precious to my soul,
My transport and my trust;
Jewels, to thee, are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust.
3 All my capacious powers can wish,
In thee doth richly meet;
Not mine eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.
4 Thy grace still dwells upon my heart,
And sheds its fragrance there;--
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care. Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Jesus; Christians Love for Christ; Communion of Saints With Christ Scripture: Matthew 1:21 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY CROSS
