I know of a world
That is sunk in shame,
Where hearts oft faint and tire;
But I know of a Name,
A precious Name,
That can set that world on fire.
Its sound is sweet,
Its letters flame;
I know of a Name, a precious Name―
'Tis Jesus!
I know of a Book,
A marvelous Book,
With a message for all who hear;
And the same dear Name,
That wonderful Name,
Illumines its pages clear.
The book is His Word,
Its message I've heard;
I know of a Name, a precious Name―
'Tis Jesus!
I know of a Home
In Immanuel's land,
Where hearts ne'er faint nor tire;
And His marvelous Name,
His own dear Name,
Inspires the heavenly choir.
Hear the melody ringing,
My own heart singing,
I know of a Name, a precious Name―
'Tis Jesus!
