(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
Sing alound the name
Till it softly, slowly
Sets all hearts aflame.
2
Jesus — name of cleansing,
Washing all our stains;
Jesus — name of healing,
Balm for all our pains.
3
Jesus — name of boldness,
Making cowards brave;
Name that in the battle
Certainly must save.
4
Jesus — name of beauty,
Beauty far too bright
For our earthborn fancy,
For our mortal sight.
5
Jesus — name of gladness
Thru this vale of tears,
Till we reach the homeland
And th’eternal years.
