Hymn CXXXVIII. Long Metre. No other Name than Christ for Salvation
by Anonymous
Jesus, thou spring of joys divine, Whence all our hope and comfort slow; Jesus, no other name but thine Can save us from eternal woe.
In vain would boasting reason find The way to happiness and God; Her weak directions leave the mind Bewilder'd in a dubious road.
No other name will heaven approve, Thou art the sure the living way; Ordain'd by everlasting love, To the bright realms of endless day.
Here let our constant feet abide, Nor from the heavenly road depart; O let thy spirit, gracious guide, Direct our steps and rule our heart.
Safe lead us through this world of night, And bring us to the blissful plains; The regions of unclouded light, Where perfect joy forever reigns.
