JESUS.

By Sarah F. Sharpe

Jesus, the name of names most sweet, Jesus, the name with love replete, Jesus, the name that calms each fear, Jesus, the name we joy to hear.

Jesus, who left the Father's love, Jesus, who left the throne above, Jesus, who came to earth below, Jesus, who did our natures know.

Jesus, by Judas' hands betrayed, Jesus, in purple robes arrayed, Jesus, with thorny crown that day, Jesus, condemned and led away.

Jesus they took to Calvary, Jesus they nailed upon a tree, Jesus they caused to bleed and die, Jesus, they heard thy last great cry.

Jesus now reigns in majesty, Jesus now pleads for you and me, Jesus now shares of joys untold, Jesus now wears a crown of gold.

Jesus, our refuge in this life, Jesus, our all in pain and strife, Jesus, our mediator, friend, Jesus, our guide unto the end.

Jesus, dear Lord, to thee we pray, Jesus, dear friend, be thou our stay, Jesus, dear Jesus, take us home, Jesus, dear Saviour, quickly come.
