To the Name of our salvation, Laud and honor let us pay, Which for many a generation Hid in God’s foreknowledge lay; But with holy exultation We may sing aloud today.
Jesus is the Name we treasure; Name beyond what words can tell; Name of gladness, Name of pleasure, Ear and heart delighting well; Name of pow’r beyond all measure, Saving us from sin and hell.
’Tis the Name that whoso preaches Speaks like music to the ear; Who in prayer this Name beseeches Finds sweet comfort ever near; Who its perfect wisdom reaches, Heav’nly joy possesses here.
Jesus is the Name prevailing Over every name by right; At this Name, in terror quailing, Pow’rs of hell are put to flight; God, in mercy never failing, Saves us by this Name of might.
Therefore we in love adoring, This most blessed Name revere; Holy Jesus, Thee imploring So to write it in us here, That hereafter, heav’nward soaring, We may sing with angels there.
