Christ, Precious to them that Believe

Verse 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.

Verse 2

Yes, Thou art precious to my soul, My Transport and my Trust; Jewels to Thee are gaudy toys, And gold is sordid dust.

Verse 3

All my capacious powers can wish In Thee doth richly meet; Not to mine eyes is light so dear, Or friendship half so sweet.

Verse 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.

Verse 5

Amen.
