There is a name divinely sweet
That melts the heart to love
And wakes the highest note of praise
From angel choirs above;
It guides the mourning wanderer home;
It calms the troubled wave;
In all the realms beneath the skies
No other name can save.
Dear Savior
Thine the precious name
That melts the heart to love
And wakes the highest note of praise
From angel choirs above.
That name devotion’s flame inspires
In every grateful breast;
And thro’ its all prevailing power
We hope
and look for rest;
It brings us near the throne of grace
By faith and earnest prayer;
It brings to every waiting soul
A Father’s blessing there.
The saints redeemed
with one accord
The name in glory sing;
And o’er the radiant fields of light
Their loud hosannas ring;
Eternal Father
source of light!
Inspire our grateful lays;
And teach our hearts in nobler strains
That blessèd name to praise.
