HYMN 59.
Jesus, I love Thy sacred Name,
'Tis music to mine ear!
Fain would I sound it out so loud,
That earth and Heav'n might hear.
All that my greatest thoughts can wish,
In Thee doth richly meet;
Not to mine eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.
Thy grace still dwells within my heart,
And sheds its fragrance there;
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care.
I'll speak the glories of Thy Name,
With my last lab'ring breath!
And, dying, glory in Thy love,
The antidote of death.
