The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#497

497. There is no name so sweet on earth

1 There is no name so sweet on earth,
No name so sweet in heaven,
The name before his wondrous birth
To Christ, the Saviour, given.

Chorus:
We love to sing around our King,
And hail him blessed Jesus;
For there's no word ear ever heard,
So dear, so sweet as "Jesus."

2 He's now upon His Father's throne,
Almighty to release us
From sin and pain, he gladly reigns,
The Prince and Saviour, Jesus. [Chorus]
