Jesus! sweetest theme in earth or Heav�n!
Dearer name was never known;
By th�eternal Father it was giv�n
To His co-eternal Son.
Jesus, bless�d Jesus, spotless Son of God,
Dying to redeem us by His precious blood;
I would speak His praise to all the earth abroad,
Glory to His peerless Name!
Borne by holy messengers of light,
From a land of golden day,
Thru the silence of the starry night�
List to what the angels say.
Jesus, bless�d Jesus, spotless Son of God,
Dying to redeem us by His precious blood;
I would speak His praise to all the earth abroad,
Glory to His peerless Name!
To the heart it speaks of blessings rare,
And our lips repeat the Name,
Hail, belov�d, Fairest of the fair,
Now and evermore the same.
Jesus, bless�d Jesus, spotless Son of God,
Dying to redeem us by His precious blood;
I would speak His praise to all the earth abroad,
Glory to His peerless Name!
O my soul would join the angel choir,
Chanting His amazing love;
For I feel within a sacred fire,
Kindled in the courts above.
Jesus, bless�d Jesus, spotless Son of God,
Dying to redeem us by His precious blood;
I would speak His praise to all the earth abroad,
Glory to His peerless Name!
