My Lord and My God

by Shirley Chacko

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
Sing aloud the Name
Till it softly, slowly
Sets al hearts aflame.

Jesus, Name of cleansing,
Washing all our stains,
Jesus, Name of healing,
Balm for all our pains.

Jesus, Name of beauty,
Beauty far too bright
For our earth-born fancy,
For our mortal sight.

Jesus, Name of gladness
Thru this vale of tears
Till we reach the homeland
And the eternal years.

Joys are flowing like a river
Since the Comforter has come,
He abides with us forever,
Makes the trusting heart His home.

Bringing life and health and gladness
All around, this heavenly Guest
Banished unbelief and sadness,
Changed our weariness to rest.

Like the rain that falls from heaven,
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Ghost is given,
Coming on us from on high.

See, a fruitful field is growing,
Blessed fruit of righteousness;
And the streams of life are flowing
In the lonely wilderness.

What a wonderful salvation,
Where we always see His face!
What a perfect habitation,
What a quiet resting place!
