1 My name on Jesus’ hands
In crimson lines is traced;
And not one letter there
Can ever be effaced.

Chorus:
My name my Saviour knows,
He knows from whence I came;
And when in heav’n He calls,
I’ll answer to my name.

2 My name is on His heart,
His grace and love are mine;
And with His jewels bright,
My soul at last shall shine. [Chorus]

3 My name within His book
Is writ with pen divine;
And when with Him I reign,
His “New Name” shall be mine. [Chorus]
