There is no name so sweet on earth,

  No name so sweet in heaven,

The name before His wondrous birth

  To Christ the Saviour given.

O Jesus, by Thy matchless name,

  Thy grace shall fail us never;

To-day as yesterday the same,

  We’ll bless Thy name forever.

For there’s no name ear ever heard

  So dear, so sweet as Jesus.

We love to sing of Christ our King

  And hail Him, blessed Jesus.

  —George W. Bethune (1805-1862)
