Jesus! O Name of power divine
To all of heav’nly birth!
Jesus! The never-failing mine
Of richest, sweetest worth.
Each bitter grief, each anxious care,
O Lord, Thy goodness knows;
My wounded spirit only there
‘Mid conflict finds repose.
Here, love may meet a kindred heart,
But not a heart like Thine;
Lord, from Thy love I cannot part,
Nor canst Thou part with mine.
With Thee I cannot feel alone,
I cannot be forgot;
Though friends are changing
one by one,
Thou, Saviour, changest not!
My future path, I know, may be
A path of anxious care;
But love has planned that path for me,
That love in which I share.
And is it not, O Lord, enough
Thy perfect love to share,
Till Thou shalt call
Thy Bride above,
To meet Thee in the air?
It is enough: Thy tender smile,
Till I behold Thee there,
Shall cheer me through the little while
I’m waiting for Thee here.
