My name is in the Book of Life,
O bless the name of Je­sus;
I rise above all doubt and strife,
And read my title clear.

Refrain

I know, I know my name is there (is there);
I know, I know, my name is written there.

My name once stood with sinners, lost,
And bore a painful record;
But by His blood the Sav­ior crossed,
And placed it on His roll.

Refrain

Yet inward trouble often cast
A shadow o’er my title;
But now with full sal­va­tion blest,
Praise God! it’s ever clear.

Refrain

While others climb thro’ worldly strife,
To carve a name of honor,
High up in Hea­ven’s Book of Life,
My name is written there.
