137. I Know My Name is There

1 My name is in the book of Life,
O bless the name of Jesus!
I rise above all doubt and strife,
And read my title clear.

Chorus:
I know, I know my name is there;
I know, I know my name is written there.

2 My name once stood with sinners, lost,
And here a painful record;
But by His blood the Saviour cross'd,
And placed it on His roll. [Chorus]

3 Yet inward trouble often cast
A shadow o’er my title;
But now with full salvation blest,
Praise God! it’s ever clear. [Chorus]

4 While others climb thro' worldly strife,
To carve a name of honor,
High up in heaven’s book of Life,
My name is written there. [Chorus]
