129. The New Name

1 We shall have a new name in that land,
In that land, that sunny, sunny land,
When we meet the bright angelic band,
In that sunny land.
A new name, a new name
We’ll receive up there;
A new name, a new name,
All who enter there.

Chorus:
We shall have a new name in that land,
In that land, that sunny, sunny land,
When we meet the bright angelic band,
In that sunny land.

2 We’ll receive it in a pure white stone,
And no one will know the name therein,
Only unto him who hath ‘tis known,
When we’re free from sin.
A white stone, a white stone
We'll receive up there;
A white stone, a white stone,
All who enter there. [Chorus]

3 Don’t you wonder what that name will be,
Sweeter far that aught on earth can be,
We will be quite satisfied when we
Shall that new name know.
I wonder, I wonder
What that name will be,
I wonder, I wonder,
What he’ll give to me. [Chorus]
