Jesus – How Much Thy Name Unfolds

Jesus – how much Thy name unfolds To every opened ear; The pardoned sinner’s memory holds None other half so dear.
Thy name encircles every grace That God as man could show; There only could He fully trace A life divine below.
Jesus – it speaks a life of love, Of sorrows meekly borne; It tells of sympathy above, Whatever makes us mourn.
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.
The mention of Thy name shall bow Our hearts to worship Thee; The chiefest of ten thousand Thou, Whose love has set us free.By Mary Bowley, 1813-1856
