JESUS! Name of comfort,
Name of endless love!
Lifting from earth’s shadows
Into heaven above!
Name of rarest fragrance
(Precious unto God).
Wafted o’er the pathway
By the saints now trod.
Name of untold sweetness!
Here, O soul, take rest!
Taste the joys of heaven,
Though by earth oppressed!
Jesus! Name victorious
Over sob and tear―
To the broken-hearted
Who can tell how dear?
Jesus! crowned with glory,
Ages ne’er shall dim,
Thee with reverent gladness
Ever would we hymn!
J. B. S―E.
