The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#74

74. 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.

Chorus:
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 His human name they did proclaim
When Abr'am's son they seal'd him,--
The name that still, by God's good will,
Deliverer reveal'd him.

Chorus:
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.

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.

Chorus:
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.

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

Chorus:
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.

5 To Jesus every knee shall bow,
And every tongue confess him,
And we unite with saints to light,
Our only Lord to bless him.

Chorus:
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.

6 O Jesus, by that matchless name,
Thy grace shall fail us never;
To-day as yesterday the same,
Thou art the same forever.

Chorus: Then let us sing, around our King,
The faithful, precious Jesus,
For there's no word ear ever heard
So dear, so sweet, as Jesus.
