Jesu’s Precious Name Excels

Jesu’s pre­cious name ex­cels

Jordan’s streams

and Sa­lem’s wells;

Thirsty sin­ners

come and draw

Quench the flames of Si­nai’s law.

Fearful sin­ners

come and try—

Draw and drink with in­ward joy;

Christ is fresh

and full

and free;

Sinners

come

who­e’er you be.

See the wa­ters spring­ing up

To re­vive your lang­uid hope;

Fill your ves­sels

as it rolls

And re­fresh your wea­ry souls.

Lo! the Spir­it now in­vites!

Lo! the hap­py Bride unites!

Jesus calls

be not afraid

Lo! for you the well was made!

Justice made it in the Lamb

Mercy grants it thro’ His name;

Faith re­ceives a full sup­ply;

Those who drink it can­not die.

Careless sin­ner

let me tell

Not a drop is found in hell;

Not a drop to ease your smart

Not a drop to cool your heart.

Haste you to the Lamb of God

Seek sal­va­tion in His blood;

In it there is bound­less store

For ten thou­sand thou­sands more.

Constant trib­utes let us bring

For this soul re­fresh­ing spring;

Constant let our prais­es rise

’Till we drink ab­ove the skies.
