Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: Church Book #213 (1890) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 To the Name of our salvation
Honor, worship, thanks, we pay;
Which, for many a generation
Hid in God's foreknowledge lay,
But with holy exultation
We may sing aloud to-day.
2 Jesus is the Name we treasure,
Name beyond what words can tell;
Name of gladness, Name of pleasure,
Ear and heart delighting well;
Name of sweetness, passing measure,
Saving us from sin and hell.
3 'Tis the Name for adoration;
'Tis the Name of Victory;
'Tis the Name for meditation
In this vale of misery;
'Tis the Name for veneration
By the citizens on high.
4 Jesus is the Name exalted
Over every other name;
In this Name, whene'er assaulted,
We can put our foes to shame;
Strength to them who else had halted,
Eyes to blind, and feet to lame.
5 Jesus, we Thy Name adoring,
Long to see Thee as Thou art;
Of Thy clemency imploring
So to write it in our heart,
That hereafter, upwards soaring,
We with angels may have part. Topics: Praise to Christ; Circumcision; Name of Christ; New Years Day; Lent, Sixth Sunday; Passion Week; Ascension Day; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: ORIEL
