Text: | There is No Name so Sweet on Earth |
Author: | George W. Bethune, 1805-1862 |
Tune: | THE BLESSED NAME |
Composer: | Sir Joseph Barnby, 1838-1896 |
1 There is no Name so sweet on earth,
No Name so sweet in heaven,
The Name before His wondrous birth
To Christ the Saviour given.
Chorus:
We love to sing around our king,
And hail Him blessed Jesus!
For there’s no word ear ever heard
So dear, so sweet as Jesus.
2 His human Name they did proclaim,
When Abram’s son they sealed Him,
The Name that still by God’s good will,
Deliverer revealed Him. [Chorus]
3 And when He hung upon the tree,
They wrote this Name above Him;
That all might see the reason we
Forever more must love Him. [Chorus]
4 So now, upon His Father’s throne,
Almighty to release us
From sin and pain, in glory reigns
The Prince and Saviour Jesus. [Chorus]
5 To Jesus every knee shall bow,
And every tongue confess Him,
And we unite with saints in light,
To honor and to bless Him [Chorus]
6 O Jesus, by that matchless Name,
Thy grace shall fail us never;
To-day as yesterday the same,
Thou art the same forever. [Chorus]
Amen.
