63. He Knows Me By My Name

1 This thought is dearer far to me
Than worldly wealth or fame—
However humble I may be,
He knows me by my name!

Chorus:
He knows me by my name,
He knows me by my name!
That Friend divine is truly mine,—
He knows me by my name!

2 When first I heard His blessed voice,
Sin filled my heart with shame;
But now, forgiven, i rejoice--
He knows me by my name! [Chorus]

3 Tho' trails daily I may meet,
All these my Lord o'ercome;
He leads the way with wounded feet—
He knows me by my name! [Chorus]

4 Tho' I am weak, my Savior knows
The frailty of my frame;
His strength o'ercometh all my foes,—
He knows me by my name! [Chorus]
