Precious Jesus.

By L. E. Millne

“Unto them that believe, He is precious.” Blessed words! like the sweetest music they fall on our enraptured ear, and we take up the sweet strain, JESUS, precious JESUS. “His name shall be called Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.” What name so sweet and attractive to the believer! What high and holy aspirations cluster around the sacred name! Precious Jesus, thou wast slain for us. Oh, what love! what wondrous love! Be astonished, O my soul, at such amazing condescension! What theme on earth so glorious, so sublime! Precious Jesus, thou art my Saviour, my Redeemer,
“Oh, who’s like my Saviour, he’s Salem’s bright King, He smiles, and he loves me, and learns me to sing; I’ll praise him, I’ll praise him, with notes loud and shrill, While rivers of pleasure my spirits do fill.”
His name shall be called the Wonderful, the Counselor, the great and mighty Lord. He is the chiefest among ten thousand, the one altogether lovely. O Jesus, thou lovely Saviour, let me ever praise thee while I live. Let me never be ashamed of thee and of thy precious cause. Though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortest me. Thy yoke is easy, and thy burden is light. Thy ways are ways of pleasantness, and all thy paths are peace. Being justified by faith we have peace through our Lord Jesus Christ. Who would not listen to his cheering voice! Who would not have this blessed peace which comes through faith in his name! Who would not rest under his banner of love with great delight? Oh precious trust! who would not confide in Jesus, the blessed Lamb of God? Who would not love him with all their hearts, and seek to reflect his lovely image, that all his grace may abound in us, that we be not barren nor unfruitful in the Lord! for so an entrance shall be administered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. L. E. Millne.
