30. 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 His human Name, they did proclaim
When Abram's son they sealed Him,
The Name that still, by God's good will,
Deliverer revealed Him.

3 And when He hung upon the tree,
They wrote this Name above Him,
That all might see the reason we
Forever more must love Him.

4 So now, upon His Father's throne.
Almighty to release us
From sin and pains, in glory reigns
The Prince and Saviour Jesus.

5 To Jesus every knee shall bow,
And every tongue confess Him,
And we unite with saints in light,
To honor and to bless Him.

6 O Jesus, by that matchless Name,
Thy grace shall fail us never;
To-day as yesterday the same,
Thou art the same for ever.
