Music: Llanthony, Abbey Hymns.
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
Sing aloud the Name;
Till it softly, slowly,
Sets all hearts aflame.
Jesus! Name of cleansing,
Washing all our stains;
Jesus! Name of healing,
Balm for all our pains.
Jesus! Name of boldness,
Making cowards brave;
Name! that in the battle,
Certainly must save.
Jesus! Name of victory,
Stretching far away,
Right across earth’s war-fields,
To the plains of day.
Jesus! Name of beauty,
Beauty far too bright
For our earth-born fancy,
For our mortal sight.
Jesus! be our joy-note
In this vale of tears;
Till we reach the homeland,
And th’eternal years.
