“‘Twas God who gave the precious name
Of ‘Jesus’ to His Son,
Because He knew His gracious work
By Him would well be done.
The name of ‘Jesus’ Saviour means,
And such He is indeed,
To all who feel the weight of sin,
And peace and pardon need.
His name was Jesus when on earth,
His name is Jesus now;
And God declares that to that name
All heaven and earth shall bow.
And truly happy is the child
Who loves this precious name;
We soon shall Him in glory see
Who once in mercy came.”
