The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#124

124. Elizabethtown

1 Jesus, I love thy charming name;
'Tis music to my ear:
Fain would I sound it out so loud
That all the earth might hear.

2 Yes, thou art precious to my soul,
My transport and my trust;
Jewels to thee are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust.

3 All that my ardent soul can wish,
In thee doth richly meet;
Nor to my eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.

4 Thy grace shall dwell up on my heart,
And shed its fragrance there,
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care.
