Eight names of Him I love
Let my young readers trace,
And they will quickly prove
That Name He bore in grace.
The Name from Jacob’s lips which fell,
Doth to all nations blessing tell.
The Name in glory He declared.
The Name His early followers shared.
The Name to loyal hearts so dear.
The Name when soon He shall appear.
The Name that Israel yet shall own,
And gladly welcome to His throne.
The Name that tells His path below.
The Name we shall in glory know.
