Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Laudes Domini #396 (1890) 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 to 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: Love, and Communion With Christ; Christ Character of; Christians Love for Christ; Love For the Saviour; Christ Character of; Christians Love for Christ; Love For the Saviour Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY CROSS
