To the name of our salvation

Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 119 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:12-15 Lyrics: 1 To the name of our salvation laud and honour let us pay, which for many a generation hid in God's foreknowledge lay, but with holy exultation we may sing aloud today. 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 power beyond all measure, saving us from sin and hell. 3 Jesus is the name exalted over every other name; in this name, whene'er assaulted we can put our foes to shame: strength to those who would have halted, eyes to blind, and feet to lame. 4 Therefore we in love adoring this most blessèd name revere, Holy Jesus, thee imploring so to write it in us here, that hereafter, heavenward soaring, we may sing with angels there.

Lynch Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 36 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:27-31 Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, rejoice: redemption draweth nigh; now breathes a softer air, now shines a milder sky; the early trees put forth their new and tender leaf; hushed is the moaning wind that told of winter's grief. 2 Lift up your heads, rejoice: redemption draweth nigh; now mount the leader clouds, now flames the darkn'ing sky; the early scattered drops descend with heavy fall, and to the waiting earth the hidden thunders call. 3 Lift up your heads, rejoice: redemption draweth nigh; O note the varying signs of earth and air and sky. the God of glory comes in gentleness and might, to comfort and alarm, to succor and to smite. 4 He come, the wide world's King; he comes, the true heart's friend, new gladness to begin, and ancient wrong to end; he comes to fill with light the weary, waiting eye: lift up your heads, rejoice: redemption draweth nigh.
