Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Songs for Work and Worship #64 (1900) Hymnal Title: Songs for Work and Worship First Line: There is life in the name of Jesus Refrain First Line: O that holy name, O that sweetest name Lyrics: 1 There is life in the name of Jesus,
For no other name will save,
For that name will alone admit us
To that home beyond the grave.
Chorus:
O that holy name, O that sweetest name,
Now and evermore the same!
“Jesus” is our cry,
As the days go by,
Blessed be his holy name!
2 There is hope in the name of Jesus,
Tho’ the waves of life may roll,
For that name in the hour of danger
Is an anchor to the soul. [Chorus]
3 There is joy in the name of Jesus,
When we make of him our choice,
Then thro’ life like the sweetest music
Will that name our hearts rejoice. [Chorus]
4 There is rest in the name of Jesus,
When we lean upon his breast,
In his name is that sweetest promise,
“Come, and I will give you rest.” [Chorus]
