Precious Name

Precious is the name of Jesus, Who can half its worth unfold?

1 Precious is the name of Jesus,
Who can half its worth unfold,
Far beyond angelic praises,
Sweetly sung to harps of gold.

Chorus:
Precious name, O how sweet,
Precious name, O how sweet,
Precious name, O how sweet,
O how sweet.

2 Precious as the Mediator,
By the Father raised on high,
Precious, when he took our nature,
Laid His awful glory by. [Chorus]

3 Precious when to Calvary groaning,
He sustained the cursed tree;
Precious, when His death atoning
Made an end of sin for me. [Chorus]

4 Precious in His death victorious,
He the hosts of hell o'erthrows;
In His resurrection glorious
Victor crowned o'er all his foes. [Chorus]

5 Precious Lord, beyond expressing
Are thy beauties all divine;
Glory, honor, power, and blessing,
Be henceforth, forever thine. [Chorus]
