To the Name of Our Salvation

Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 122 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:1-16 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 sweetness passing measure, saving us from sin and hell. 3 'Tis the name that whoso preaches speaks like music to the ear; who in prayer this name beseeches finds its comfort ever near; who its perfect wisdom reaches, heavenly joy possesses here. 4 Jesus is the name exalted over every other name; in this name, whene'er assaulted, we can put our foes to shame: strength to them who else had halted, eyes to blind and feet to lame. 5 Therefore we in love adoring, this most blessed name revere, holy Jesus, thee imploring so to write it in us here that, hereafter heavenward soaring, we may sing with angels there.

To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise

Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837-1898 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 112 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:15 Lyrics: 1 To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise in hymns of adoration, to thee bring sacrifice of praise with shouts of exultation: bright robes of gold the fields adorn, the hills with joy are ringing, the valleys stand so thick with corn that even they are singing. 2 And now, on this our festal day, thy bounteous hand confessing, upon thine altar, Lord, we lay the first-fruits of thy blessing: by thee the hungry soul is fed with gifts of grace supernal; thou who dost give us earthly bread, give us the bread eternal. 3 We bear the burden of the day, and often toil seems dreary; but labour ends with sunset ray, and rest comes for the weary: may we, the angel-reaping o'er, stand at the last accepted, Christ's golden sheaves for evermore to garners bright elected. 4 O blessèd is that land of God, where saints abide for ever; where golden fields spread far and broad, where flows the crystal river: the strains of all its holy throng with ours today are blending; thrice blessèd is that harvest-song which never hath an ending.
