14. At the Sound of His Name

1 At the sound of His name the heavens rejoice,
His praise without ceasing they sing;
The awakening earth, with jubilant voice,
Speaks the love of our Savior and King.

Refrain:
At the sound of his name, his glorious name,
Jesus, Jesus,
The earth and the heavens his praise shall proclaim,
The wonderful name of Jesus!

2 At the sound of His name our hearts overflow
With praise to our Savior above;
For the comfort and peace he now doth bestow,
Are the bountiful gifts of his love. [Refrain]

3 At the sound of His name all nations shall bend,
All tongues shall acknowledge him Lord;
Universal the praise to him shall ascend,
To the glory of God in his Word. [Refrain]
