Jesus we love thy cheering name,
‘Tis music to our ear;
We would thy love and grace proclaim,
That earth and heaven might hear.
Yes! thou art precious in our eyes,
Our hope and only trust;
Wealth, when compared with thee, we prize
As vile and worthless dust.
All glories that we can desire,
In thee do richly meet,
Nor to our eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.
May thy grace dwell within our hearts,
And shed its fragrance there;
That grace eternal joy imparts,
And lightens every care.
We’ll speak thy glory and thy power,
While we have life and breath;
And thou wilt in thy dying hour,
Make us to conquer death.
