’Tis Jesus (Chapman)

I know of a world that is sunk in shame

Where hearts oft faint and tire;

But I know of a name

a pre­cious name

That can set that world on fire;

Its sound is sweet

its let­ters flame.

I know of a name

a pre­cious name

’Tis Je­sus.

I know of a book a mar­vel­ous book

With a mes­sage for all who hear;

And the same dear name

His won­der­ful name

Illumines its pag­es clear;

The book is His Word

its mes­sage I’ve heard.

I know of a home in Im­ma­nu­el’s land

Where hearts ne’er faint nor tire;

And His mar­vel­ous name

His own dear name

Inspires the heav’n­ly choir;

Hear the me­lo­dy ring­ing

my own heart sing­ing.
