Jesus! Delightful, charming name,
It spreads a fragrance round;
Justice and mercy, truth and peace,
In union here are found.
He is our life, our joy, our strength,
In him all glories meet;
He is a shade above our heads,
A light to guide our feet.
The thickest clouds are soon dispersed,
If Jesus shows his face;
To weary heavy-laden souls,
He is their resting place.
When storms arise and tempests blow,
He speaks the stilling word;
The threatening billows cease to flow,
The winds obey their Lord.
Through every age he’s still the same,
But we ungrateful prove,
Forget the savour of his name,
The sweetness of his love.
