M. B. Peters

C.M.

JESUS! how much Thy name unfolds

To every opened ear!

The pardoned sinner’s memory holds

None other half so dear.

2

Thy name encircles every grace

That God as man could show;

There only could He fully trace

A life divine below

3

Jesus it speaks a life of love,

Of sorrows meekly borne;

It tells of sympathy above

Whatever make us mourn.

4

Jesus the One who knew no sin,

Made sin to make us just;

Thou gavest Thyself our love to win,

Our full confiding trust.

5

The mention of Thy name shall bow

Our hearts to worship Thee;

The Chiefest of ten thousand Thou,

Whose love has set us free.
