There is a name all names above, Exalted name of Jesus; It tells us of a Father's love, The saving name of Jesus; It is the sinner's only plea, The seal of his savation; It is the christian's joyful hope, His faith's secure foundation. There is a name wherein we hide, The fortress-name of Jesus, The refuge where our souls may bide, The mighty name of Jesus; It was our father's dwelling place And still for us availing; Unshaken should its ramparts stand Against the world's assailing. There is a name by which we live, The one great name of Jesus, And daily triumph it will give, The Victor-name of Jesus; It is the sword that smites our foes With lightning stroke of splendor, For every danger, every fear, Our shield and our defender. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES TO A MOVEMENT IN MOZART'S E-FLAT SYMPHONY by THOMAS HARDY PLAIN LANGUAGE FROM TRUTHFUL JAMES by FRANCIS BRET HARTE DEEDS OF VALOR AT SANTIAGO by CLINTON SCOLLARD COME UP FROM THE FIELDS FATHER by WALT WHITMAN TRACT by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS WHIM ALLEY by WILLIAM HERVEY ALLEN JR. |
