His Name Forever

Representative Text

1 His name above all other names
Shall men and angels sing
In time and in eternity,—
Redeemer, Savior, King.
‘Tis written on the walls of time;
Emblazoned on the trees;
The mighty thunders speak it,
And ‘tis whispered by the breeze.

Refrain:
His name shall be above all other names
Forever, forever, Redeemer, Savior, King.

2 He built the heav’ns, He made the stars,
And gave to each a place;
The waters in His hands He holds,
And keeps the sun in space.
Creation is His handiwork,
Eternity His plan;
His pow’r in nature He displayed,—
His image gave to man. [Refrain]

3 All mighty, everlasting God,
How wonderful Thou art!
O may Thy will in service be
The joy of every heart.
Direct us, love, us, guide and keep
Us in Thy tender care,
And in Thine own good time and way
May we Thy glory share. [Refrain]
