Author: Anna Hoppe Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #55 (1926) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, O precious Name,
By heaven’s herald spoken,
Jesus, O holy Name,
Of love divine the token.
Jesus, in Thy dear Name
This new year we begin;
Bless Thou its opening door,
Inscribe Thy Name within.
2 Jesus, O precious Name,
In Thee our hopes are centered,
In Thee, O mighty Name,
This new year we have entered.
Though seasons come and go,
Thou, Lord, art still the same;
Immovable is still
That solid Rock, Thy Name.
3 Jesus, O precious Name,
Thou bringest peace and gladness,
Jesus, O worshipped Name,
Dispelling all our sadness,
In hallowed temple halls
Thy sacred echo rings,
While heaven’s ransomed host
Thy praise in glory sings.
Amen. Topics: Church Year New Year; New Year's Day; Name of Jesus; Name of Jesus and Christ Scripture: Hebrews 13:8 Languages: English Tune Title: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT
