Jesus, Thy Saving Name I Bless

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1749
Composer: James McGranahan, 1901

Jesus

Thy sav­ing name I bless

Delivered out of my dis­tress

Thy faith­ful­ness I prove;

I mag­ni­fy Thy mer­cy’s pow­er;

My re­fuge in the try­ing hour

Was Thy al­migh­ty love.

Snatched from the rage of cru­el men

Brought up out of the li­on’s den

And thro’ the burn­ing flame:

Jesus

Thine out­stretched hand I see

Might

wis­dom

strength as­cribe to Thee

And bless Thy sav­ing name.

Hereby Thou fa­vor­est me

I know

Because Thou wouldst not let the foe

My hunt­ed soul de­stroy;

Better than life Thy fa­vor is

’Tis pure de­light

and per­fect bliss

And ev­er­last­ing joy.

Saved by a mi­ra­cle of grace

Lord

I with thank­ful heart em­brace

The tok­en of Thy love:

This

this

the com­fort­able sign

That I the first born church shall join

And bless Thy name ab­ove.
