Jesus' Name.

By A. E. Dartt

[I think the following lines so beautifully expressive of Christian feeling that I copy them for the Review if you think proper to publish them. A. E. Dartt.]
Jesus I love thy charming name, Tis music to my ear. Fain would I sound it out so loud That earth and heaven might hear.
Yes, thou art precious to my soul, My transport and my trust; Jewels to thee are gaudy toys, And gold is sordid dust.
All my capacious powers can wish, In thee most richly meet; Nor to my eyes is light so dear, Nor friendship half so sweet.
Oh may thy grace still cheer my heart, And shed its fragrance there! The noblest balm of all its wounds, The cordial of its care.
I'll speak the honors of thy name, With my last lab'ring breath; When speechless, clasp thee in my arms, My joy in life and death.
