There is a name di­vin­ely sweet,
That melts the heart to love,
And wakes the high­est note of praise
From an­gel choirs above;
It guides the mourn­ing wan­der­er home;
It calms the trou­bled wave;
In all the realms be­neath the skies,
No other name can save.

Refrain

Dear Sav­ior, Thine the pre­cious name
That melts the heart to love,
And wakes the high­est note of praise
From an­gel choirs above.

That name de­vo­tion’s flame in­spires
In every grate­ful breast;
And thro’ its all pre­vail­ing power
We hope, and look for rest;
It brings us near the throne of grace,
By faith and ear­nest pray­er;
It brings to ev­ery wait­ing soul
A Fa­ther’s bless­ing there.

Refrain

The saints re­deemed, with one ac­cord,
The name in glo­ry sing;
And o’er the ra­di­ant fields of light,
Their loud ho­san­nas ring;
Eternal Fa­ther, source of light!
Inspire our grate­ful lays;
And teach our hearts in nob­ler strains
That bless­èd name to praise.

Refrain
