Oh, speak of Jesus! other names
Have lost for me their interest now;
His is the only one that claims
To be an antidote for woe:
It falls like music on the ear,
When nothing else can soothe or cheer.
Oh, speak of Jesus! of his power,
As perfect God and perfect man,
Which day by day, and hour by hour,
As he wrought out the wondrous plan,
Led him, as God, to save and heal;
As man to sympathize and feel.
Oh, speak of Jesus—of his death!
For us he lived, for us he died;
“ ‘Tis finished,” with his latest breath,
The Lord, Jehovah-Jesus, cried;
That death of shame and agony
Won life, eternal life for me!
Yes, speak of Jesus while mine ear
Can listen to a human voice!
That name my parting soul will cheer,
Will bid me ev'n in death rejoice;
Then prove, when these clay bonds are riven,
My passport at the gates of heaven!
