Sweetly the fragrance of Thy name,
Jesus our Lord;
Its precious freshness still the same,
Pervades Thy word.
Sweet to our souls; but to Thy God
Who knew the roughness of the road,
Which in obedience was trod,
No tongue can tell how sweet.
Name of surpassing excellence,
Jesus our Lord;
Beyond the range of mortal sense,
This mighty cord.
This sweet uniting name of love
Must ever in its fragrance prove,
The power omnipotent to move
Worship our God to Thee.
Thy Father’s heart in Thee has found,
(Jesus our Lord),
Supreme delight; the blessed ground
Of one accord;
One heart of love, one mind of pence,
One pattern of pure holiness,
One source of perfect happiness
Jesus our Lord in Thee.
