1 No other name found on earth or in heav’n,
No other name but Jesus;
No other name where by sins are forgiv’n,
No other name but Jesus.

Refrain:
No other name!
No other name!
There is no other by which we are saved;
There is no other name,
No other name!
No other name!
There is no other by which we are saved;
There is no other name.

2 No other name can put evil to flight,
No other name but Jesus,
No other name changes darkness to light,
No other name but Jesus. [Refrain]

3 No other name has the power to save,
No other name but Jesus,
No other name conquers death and the grave,
No other name but Jesus. [Refrain]

4 No other name is exalted as high,
No other name but Jesus,
No other name is the song of the sky,
No other name but Jesus. [Refrain]
