184. There Is a Name We Love to Hear

C.M.
by F. Whitfield
1
There is a name we love to hear,
 
We love to sing its worth;
 
It sounds like music in our ear,
 
The sweetest name on earth.
“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)
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21)
“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” (Matthew 1:23)
“Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.” (Ephesians 1:21)
“Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.” (Psalm 148:13)
“<<A Psalm of David.>> Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.” (Psalm 103:1)
“Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.” (Psalm 135:3)

It tells us of a Savior’s love,
 
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,
 
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
 
Along this thorny road,
 
Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill
 
That leads us up to God.
5
And there the whole triumphant throng,
 
Of blood-bought saints on high,
 
Shall sing the new, eternal song
 
With Jesus ever nigh.
