- 1Dearest of all the names above,
- My Jesus, and my God,
- Who can resist Thy heavenly love,
- Or trifle with Thy blood?
- 2’Tis by the merits of Thy death
- The Father smiles again;
- ’Tis by Thine interceding breath
- The Spirit dwells with men.
- 3Till God in human flesh I see,
- My thoughts no comfort find;
- The holy, just, and sacred Three
- Are terrors to my mind.
- 4But if Immanuel’s face appear,
- My hope, my joy begins;
- His name forbids my slavish fear,
- His grace removes my sins.
- 5While Jews on their own law rely,
- And Greeks of wisdom boast,
- I love th’incarnate mystery,
- And there I fix my trust.
