Lyrics

I know of a name, a beau­ti­ful name,
That an­gels brought down to earth;
They whis­pered it low, one night long ago,
To a maid­en of low­ly birth.

Refrain

That beau­ti­ful name, that beau­ti­ful name,
From sin has pow­er to free us!
That beau­ti­ful name, that won­der­ful name,
That match­less name is Je­sus!

I know of a name, a beau­ti­ful name,
That un­to a babe was giv­en.
The stars glit­tered bright through­out that glad night,
And an­gels praised God in Heav’n.

Refrain

The One of that name, my Sav­ior became,
My Sav­ior of Cal­va­ry.
My sins nailed Him there; my bur­dens He bare.
He suf­fered all this for me.

Refrain

I love that blest name, that won­der­ful name,
Made high­er than all in Hea­ven.
’Twas whis­pered, I know, in my heart long ago
To Je­sus my life I’ve giv’n.
