O Lord, how much Thy Name unfolds

69
					C.M.

1	O Lord, how much Thy Name unfolds
	To every opened ear;
	The pardoned sinner’s  memory holds
	None other half so dear.

2	Jesus! it speaks a life of love,
	And sorrows meekly borne;
	It tells of sympathy above,
	Whatever griefs we mourn.

3	It tells us of Thy sinless walk
	In fellowship with God;
	And to our ears no tale so sweet
	As Thine atoning blood.

4	This Name encircles every grace
	That God, as man, could show;
	There only can the Spirit trace
	A perfect life below.

5	The mention of  Thy Name shall bow
	Our hearts to worship Thee;
	The chiefest of ten thousand Thou!
	The chief of sinners we.
