‘Twas God who gave the precious name
Of “Jesus” to His Son,
Because for all His people’s sins
And guilt He would atone.
The name of “Jesus” SAVIOUR means;
And such He is indeed
To those who know the weight of sins,
And peace and pardon need.
His name was Jesus when on earth,
His name is Jesus now;
And God declares that to this name
All heaven and earth shall bow.
And truly happy is the child
Who loves this precious name;
He soon shall Him in glory see,
Who from God’s glory came.
