Such a name as sweet as Jesus

Such a name as sweet as “Jesus”

Heav’n and earth do not contain;

When our Savior left His glory

God gave Him this matchless name.

How we love to call

“Lord Jesus!”

To acknowledge Christ

God’s Son.

Never was a name so wond’rous

Dear and sweet as “Jesus.”

When upon the tree they hung Him

There they also hung this name

For the whole earth’s admiration;

See how truly we love Him!

Then enthroned in His ascension

God on Him this name conferred;

All knees bowed

all tongues confessing

Hail Him

all in heav’n and earth!

Grace unending and exhaustless

Issues from Thy matchless name;

Yesterday

today

forever

Thou

our JESUS

art the same!
