Thy Name Alone Can Save

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1871
Composer: Augsburg Songs, 1885

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.
