No mu­sic like Thy charm­ing name,
Is coming with ori­ent light.
Not pur­est gold is half so dear,
Was there ever kin­der shep­herd
Those joy­ful sounds once more;
Not to mine eyes is light so dear,
Was there ev­er kind­er shep­herd
There’s no sto­ry to me

As the Sav­ior who would have us
E’er reached my ears be­fore.
Thy grace still dwells up­on my heart,
As the Sav­ior who would have us
As I hear it again and again.
