Text: | The Sweetest Name |
Author: | W. Bethune |
Tune: | [There is no name so sweet on earth] |
Composer: | W. B. Bradbury |
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 heard
So dear, so sweet, as Jesus.
2 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]
3 So now, upon his Father's throne,
Almighty to release us
From sin and pains, he ever reigns,
The Prince and Saviour, Jesus. [Refrain]
