Lyrics |
1. Precious to me the name of Jesus,
Dearer than all the world beside;
He is my life, my hope, and comfort,
Light of my soul, my shield and guide.
Chorus:
Glory to God in him exulting,
I will tread the heavenly way,
Up to the gates of joy eternal,
Up to the realms of endless day.
2. Trials may come and cares oppress me,
Still to the Saviour's cross I'll flee--
Sheltered by him in every danger,
Jesus the Lord who died for me.
3. Grant me thy blessing, O my Father,
Closer to thee, my soul unite,
Soon I shall pas the vale of sorry--
Soon will my faith be lost in sight.
