Jesus, I love thy charming name - Christ precious to the believer (Philip Doddridge/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Christ precious to the believer.

  (1 Peter 2,7)

1. Jesus, I love thy charming name,
  'tis music to mine ear;
fain would I sound it out so loud
  that earth and heaven should hear. (PDF - Midi)

2. Yes: thou art precious to my soul,
  my transport and my ttust;
jewels to thee are gaudy toys,
  and gold is sordid dust.

3. All my capacious powers can wish,
  in thee doth richly meet;
nor to mine eyes is light so dear
  nor friendship half so sweet.

4. Thy grace still dwells upon my heart,
  and sheds its fragrance there;
the noblest balm of all its wounds,
  the cordial of its care.

5. I'll speak the honours of thy name
  with my last labouring breath;
then, speechless, clasp thee in mine arms,
  the antidote of death.

Philip Doddridge, in: Schaff, Philip: Christ in Song, 1870, 491.
