184. There Is a Name We Love to Hear | C.M. |
| by F. Whitfield |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | There is a name we love to hear, | Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:21,23; Ephesians 1:21; Psalm 148:13; Psalm 103:1; Psalm 135:3; Philippians 2:9 |
| We love to sing its worth; |
| It sounds like music in our ear, |
| The sweetest name on earth. |
|
| 2 | It tells us of a Saviour's love, | Acts 4:10-12; 1 Peter 1:18-19 |
| Who died to set us free; |
| It tells us of His precious blood, |
| The sinner's perfect plea. |
|
| 3 | Jesus! the name we love so well, | Isaiah 26:8; Psalm 5:11; Psalm 8:1; Psalm 54:6 |
| The name we love to hear! |
| No saint on earth its worth can tell, |
| No heart conceive how dear. |
|
| 4 | This name shall shed its fragrance still | Song of Solomon 1:3 |
| Along this thorny road, |
| Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill |
| That leads us up to God. |
|
| 5 | And there the whole triumphant throng, | Revelation 5:9-13; Revelation 5:6 |
| Of blood-bought saints on high, |
| Shall sing the new, eternal song |
| With Jesus ever nigh. |
