8.7.8.7.

JESUS, Name of matchless splendour!

Name all other names above!

Glorious Son of God incarnate,

King of Kings, and Lord of love!

2

Name that to our hearts is nearest,

Here the stricken soul doth hide;

Name that to our hearts is dearest,

As in Jesus we confide.

3

“Call Him Jesus!” He shall save us

From the tyranny of sin;

From its condemnation save us,

From iniquity within.

4

Thanks we give, and adoration,

Every day and every hour,

For an uttermost salvation,

Freedom from its guilt and power.

5

Jesus! sweetest note of any

In the lowly pilgrim’s song;

Jesus! the triumphant music

Of the bright angelic throng.

6

Earth to Him her face upraises,

Knows Him as the great I am!

Heaven resounds with Jesus’ praises,

Glory to the bleeding Lamb!
