67. Jesus, The Name Without Compare

1 Jesus, the name without compare,
Honor'd on earth and in heaven,
Wherein the Father’s love and care
Are to His children now given.
Savior of all that saved can be,
Fount of God's grace and mercy free,
Is the Lord Jesus forever.

2 Jesus, the name alone on earth
Is to redemption afforded,
And at His cross of precious worth
Are we salvation accorded;
Now in His name our pray'rs are heard;
Only in that, when hearts are stirr'd,
Doth now the Spirit us comfort.

3 Jesus, the name above the sky
Wherein, when seasons are ended,
Nations shall come to God on high,
And ev'ry knee shall be bended,
While all the saved in sweet accord
Sing to the praise of Christ the Lord,
Savior beloved by the Father.
