Of joy and transport rise.

To our incarnate Lord;
Let every heart and every tongue
Adore th’ eternal Word.

To dwell with misery here below,
The Savior left the skies,

That worthless man might rise.

None but his loved ones know.

As thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus! be thou our glory now,
And through eternity.

Within my very soul.

What art thou not to me?
Each hour brings joys before unknown,
Each day new liberty.

Do not I love thee, oh, my Lord?
Behold my heart, and see;
And turn each worthless idol out,
That dares to rival thee.

Verse 2

Do not I love thee, from my soul?
Then let me nothing love;
Dead be my heart to every joy,
Which thou dost not approve.

Verse 3

Is not thy name melodious still,
To mine attentive ear?
Doth not each pulse with pleasure thrill
My Savior’s voice to hear?

Far from the sphere of mortal joys,
And learn to love thee more.

Because he first loved me.

The sinner’s perfect plea.

It tells me what my Father hath
In store for every day,
And, though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.

It tells of One, whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part,
That none can bear below.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear;
It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.

Verse 2

It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.

Verse 3

Dear Name, the rock on which I build,
My shield and hiding-place;
My never-failing treasure, filled
With boundless stores of grace.

Verse 4

Jesus, my Shepherd, Savior, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.

I would thy boundless love proclaim
With every fleeting breath,
So shall the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death.
