[Jesus, the virtue of Thy name]
Jesus, the virtue of Thy name,
To-day as yesterday the same,
Our guilt removes, our fear dispels,
And every soul-distemper heals.
To-day as yesterday the same,
Our guilt removes, our fear dispels,
And every soul-distemper heals.
On us the precious faith bestow
Through which Thy name we truly know,
Experience all its saving powers,
And feel whate'er Thou hast is ours.
Through which Thy name we truly know,
Experience all its saving powers,
And feel whate'er Thou hast is ours.

Thou giv'st us now our want to feel,
Thou dost our unbelief reveal,
And, wrought to this by previous grace,
We ask Thy love, and seek Thy face.
Thou dost our unbelief reveal,
And, wrought to this by previous grace,
We ask Thy love, and seek Thy face.
Thy all-restoring love impart,
Display Thy presence in our heart,
And perfectly made whole we rise,
And go in peace to paradise.
Display Thy presence in our heart,
And perfectly made whole we rise,
And go in peace to paradise.
