Jesus, Delightful Name!

Jesus

de­light­ful name!

Salvation’s in the sound;

Search the wide world

a sweet­er word

In na­ture can’t be found.

Behold

an an­gel gives

The ho­ly Babe the name;

Behold the heav­en­ly choir unite

To sing His last­ing fame.

Jesus

the king of grace

An em­pire wide shall have;

From sin

the worst of foes to man

His peo­ple He shall save.

O’er Ja­cob He shall reign;

Gentiles the knee shall bend;

His crown shall flour­ish on His head

His king­dom nev­er end.

Ye crea­tures all that dwell

On earth

in air and sea

Th’ex­alt­ed name of Je­sus praise

And cheer­ful bow the knee.

Jesus

Thy name we praise

And Thy re­demp­tion sing

From all our sins our souls re­deem

And Thy sal­va­tion bring.

When at Thy Fa­ther’s throne

For need­ful grace we pray;

Thy all pre­vail­ing name we’ll plead

And send our fears away.

Whilst on Thy pre­cious blood

For par­don we rely

Swayed by Thy rich­est grace we will

All world­ly lusts de­ny.
