To the Name of Our Salvation
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 119 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-4 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.

adore your heavenly King,

some joyful anthem sing;

and thus proclaim
the holy name
with sounding voice.

triumph in God above,
and with a well-tuned heart
sing thou the songs of love!

till life shall end,

for his bed a cattle stall;
oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
nowells ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the babe is Lord of all,
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
2 Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
vigil till the morning new;
saw the glory, heard the story,
tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
praises voicing, greet tomorrow:
Christ the babe was born for you,
Christ the babe was born for you! Topics: Christmas; Epiphany Used With Tune: POLISH CAROL (W ZLOBIE LEZY) Text Sources: Polish carol

King triumphant, strong to save,
dying, thou hast death defeated;
buried, thou hast spoiled the grave.
2 Thou art gone, where now is given
what no mortal might could gain,
on the eternal throne of Heaven,
in thy Father’s power to reign.
*3 There thy kingdoms all adore thee,
heaven above and earth below;
while the depths of hell before thee
trembling and defeated bow.
4 We, O Lord, with hearts adoring,
follow thee above the sky;
hear our prayers thy grace imploring,
lift our souls to thee on high.
5 So when thou again in glory
on the clouds of heaven shalt shine
we thy flock may stand before thee,
owned for evermore as thine.
6 Hail! All hail! In thee confiding,
Jesus, thee shall all adore,
in thy Father’s might abiding
with one Spirit evermore. Topics: Ascension; Easter VII Year A; Christ the King Year B Used With Tune: WYCHBOLD Text Sources: Latin, 5th century

He who on earth as man was known

With an unerring skill,
And countless worlds, extended wide,
Obey his sovereign will.

In yonder world above,
His saints on earth admire his ways,
And glory in his love.
4 When troubles, like a burning sun,
Beat heavy on their head,
To this almighty Rock they run,
And find a pleasing shade.

In such a glorious Friend!
Whose love secures them all the way,
And crowns them at the end. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; At the Right Hand of the Majesty on High

your sweetest notes employ,
the paschal victory to hymn
in strains of holy joy.

crushing the serpent's head;
and cries aloud through death's domains
to wake the imprisoned dead.
3 Devouring depths of hell their prey
at his command restore;
his ransomed hosts pursue their way
where Jesus goes before.
4 Triumphant in his glory now
to him all power is given;
to him in one communion bow
all saints in earth and heaven.
5 All glory to the Father be,
all glory to the Son,
all glory, Holy Ghost to thee,
while endless ages run. Topics: Easter (season) Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT
