1 Jesus, thy name melodious sounds
In my enraptured ear;
Each pulse with heart-felt pleasure bounds,
Thy word of grace to hear.
2 Informed of all thy love to me,
Of all thy saints receive;
Lord, how I long thy face to see,
And in thy presence live.
3 Shall I pronounce thy gracious name--
Thy acts of kindness tell;
And, while I dwell upon the theme,
No sweet-emotion feel?
4 Ah! no; thou know'st I love thee, Lord,
Thou know'st I long to soar,
From joys which time and sense afford,
To know and love thee more.
