THE ONLY NAME GIVEN UNDER HEAVEN, by                    
First Line: Jesus, thou source divine
Last Line: Where joy forever reigns.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Jesus, Thou source divine,
Whence hope and comfort flow--
Jesus, no other name than Thine
Can save from endless woe.

None else will heaven approve:
Thou art the only way,
Ordain'd by everlasting love,
To realms of endless day.

Here let our feet abide,
Nor from Thy path depart:
Direct our steps, Thou gracious Guide!
And cheer the fainting heart.

Safe through this world of night,
Lead to the blissful plains--
The regions of unclouded light--
Where joy forever reigns.
