Text:

There is no name so sweet on earth

1 There is no name so sweet on earth,
No name so sweet in heaven,
The name, before his wondrous birth,
To Christ, the Saviour given.

Refrain:
We love to sing around our King,
And hail him blessed Jesus:
For there's no word ear ever ever heard,
So dear, so sweet as Jesus.

2 His human name they did proclaim,
When Abram's son they sealed him,
The name that still, by God's good will,
Deliverer revealed him. [Refrain]

3 And when he hung upon the tree,
They wrote this name above him,
That all might see the reason we
For evermore must love him. [Refrain]

4 So now upon his Father's throne,
Almighty to release us
From sin and pains, he gladly reigns,
The Prince and Saviour Jesus. [Refrain]
