To the Name of Our Salvation

To the name of our sal­va­tion

Laud and hon­or let us pay

Which for ma­ny a ge­ne­ra­tion

Hid in God’s fore­know­ledge lay;

But with ho­ly ex­ul­ta­tion

We may sing aloud to­day.

Jesus is the name we trea­sure;

Name be­yond what words can tell;

Name of glad­ness

name of ple­asure

Ear and heart de­lighting well;

Name of sweet­ness

pass­ing mea­sure

Saving us from sin and hell.

’Tis the name for ad­or­ation

Name for songs of vic­to­ry

Name for ho­ly me­di­ta­tion

In this vale of mi­se­ry

Name for joy­ful ve­ne­ra­tion

By the ci­ti­zens on high.

’Tis the name that who­so preach­eth

Speaks like mu­sic to the ear;

Who in prayer this name be­seech­eth

Sweetest com­fort find­eth near;

Who its per­fect wis­dom reach­eth

Heavenly joy pos­sess­eth here.

Jesus is the name pre­vail­ing

Over eve­ry name by right;

At this name

in ter­ror quail­ing

Powers of hell are put to flight;

God

in mer­cy nev­er fail­ing

Saves by this name of might.

Therefore we in love ad­or­ing

This most bless­èd name rev­ere;

Holy Je­sus

Thee im­plor­ing

So to write it in us here

That here­af­ter

heav­en­ward soar­ing

We may sing with an­gels there.
