C.M. sung to St. Agnes 1 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 makes us mourn. 4 Jesus, the One who knew no sin, Made sin to make us just; Thou gav'st 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. | Alternative tunes (C.M.) |
