Jesus, our Lord! we know Thy name,
 
Thy name is all our trust;
 
Thou wilt not put our souls to shame,
 
Nor let our hope be lost.

“Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?” (Proverbs 30:4)
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

Firm as Thy life the promise stands,
 
And Thou canst well secure
 
What we’ve committed to Thy hands,
 
Till the appointed hour.
3
Then wilt Thou own us each by name
 
Before Thy Father’s face;
 
And in the new Jerusalem
 
Give us our blood-bought place.
