111. Blessed Name Forever Dear

1 No human tongue can ever tell how sweet,
How dear the Name my lips with joy repeat;
Like silver bells within my heart it rings,
Till all my soul with praiseful rapture sings.

Chorus:
O blessed Name forever dear,
Whose pow’r has set me free,
Upon Thy Name O Christ I dwell,
‘Tis heav’nly music to me,
With joy I own Thy full control
Whose love is sunshine bright,
O blessed Name that fills my soul
With wonderful and glorious light.

2 O precious Name! bright golden cord of love,
That leads us on, from earth to heav’n above,
It never fails, this all prevailing plea,
But opens wide God’s treasure-house to me. [Chorus]

3 New life divine is given thro’ His Name
That angels fair adoringly proclaim,
Soon one glad song from shore to shore shall ring,
“We worship Thee, and Thy great Name O King.” [Chorus]
