To the Name of Our Salvation

Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Lyrics: 1 To the Name of our salvation laud and honour let us pay, which for many a generation hid in God's foreknowledge lay; but with holy exultation we may sing aloud today. 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 that whoso preaches speaks like music to the ear; who in prayer this name beseeches finds its comfort ever near; who its perfect wisdom reaches, heavenly joy possesses here. 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 Therefore we in love adoring, this most blessed name revere, holy Jesus, thee imploring so to write it in us here that, hereafter heavenward soaring, we may sing with angels there.
