Lyrics

There is only one name that the saints adore—
Jesus, our elder brother;
They give Him all the praise, now and ever more;
His name is over every other.

Refrain

Then lift the happy strain,
And sing the glad refrain—
The name, the name of Je­sus;
Then lift the happy strain,
And sing the glad refrain—
The name, the name of Je­sus.

There is only one name that the soul need know—
Jesus, the Lord’s anointed;
He suffered to redeem us from sin and woe,
And bear us to the rest appointed.

Refrain

There is only one name that the angels sing—
Jesus, the Lord of glo­ry;
They gather at His feet while they hail Him king,
And listen to re­demp­tion’s story.
