There is a name all names above, Exalted name of Jesus; It tells us of a Father's love, The saving name of Jesus; It is the sinner's only plea, The seal of his savation; It is the christian's joyful hope, His faith's secure foundation. There is a name wherein we hide, The fortress-name of Jesus, The refuge where our souls may bide, The mighty name of Jesus; It was our father's dwelling place And still for us availing; Unshaken should its ramparts stand Against the world's assailing. There is a name by which we live, The one great name of Jesus, And daily triumph it will give, The Victor-name of Jesus; It is the sword that smites our foes With lightning stroke of splendor, For every danger, every fear, Our shield and our defender. |
