Text: | To the Name of our salvation |

Tune: | ORIEL |
1 To the Name of our salvation
Laud and honor let us pay;
Which, for many a generation,
Hid in God's foreknowledge lay;
But with holy exultation
We may sing aloud to-day.
2 Jesus is the Name we treasure,
Name beyond what words can tell;
Name of gladness, Name of pleasure,
Ear and heart delighting well;
Name of sweetness, passing measure,
Saving us from sin and hell.
3 'Tis the Name for adoration;
'Tis the Name of victory;
'Tis the Name for meditation
In this vale of misery;
'Tis the Name for veneration
By the citizens on high.
4 'Tis the Name by right exalted
Over every other name;
That, when we are sore assaulted,
Puts our enemies to shame:
Strength to them who else had halted,
Eyes to blind, and feet to lame.
5 Jesus, we, Thy Name adoring,
Long to see Thee as Thou art;
Of Thy clemency imploring
So to write it in our heart,
That hereafter, upward soaring,
We with angels may have part.
Amen.
