C.M.
by I. Watts

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)
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.” (Philippians 2:9)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)
“As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” (Romans 9:33)
“In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.” (Titus 1:2)

Firm as Thy life the promise stands,
 
And Thou canst well secure
 
What we’ve committed to Thy hands,
 
Till the appointed hour.
“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)
“For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” (2 Timothy 1:12)

Then wilt Thou own us each by name
 
Before Thy Father’s face;
 
And in the new Jerusalem
 
Give us our blood-bought place.

“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.” (Revelation 3:12)
