Jesus, O Precious Name

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.

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.

Jesus

O pre­cious name

Thou bring­est peace and glad­ness

Jesus

O wor­shiped name

Dispelling all our sad­ness

In hal­lowed tem­ple halls

Thy sac­red ec­ho rings

While Heav­en’s ran­somed host

Thy praise in glo­ry sings.
