3281. Jesus, O Precious Name

1. Jesus, O precious name,
By Heaven’s herald spoken,
Jesus, O holy name,
Of love divine the token.
Jesus, in Thy dear name
This new year we begin;
Bless Thou its opening door,
Inscribe Thy name within.

2. Jesus, O precious name,
In Thee our hopes are centered,
In Thee, O mighty name,
This new year we have entered.
Though seasons come and go,
Thou, Lord, art still the same;
Immovable is still
That solid rock, Thy name.

3. Jesus, O precious name,
Thou bringest peace and gladness,
Jesus, O worshipped name,
Dispelling all our sadness,
In hallowed temple halls
Thy sacred echo rings,
While Heaven’s ransomed host
Thy praise in glory sings.
