Hymn 455 - I Know of a Name

I know of a name, a beautiful name,

That angels brought down to earth;

They whispered it low, one night long ago,

To a maiden of lowly birth.

I know of a name, a beautiful name,

That unto a Babe was giv’n;

The stars glittered bright throughout that glad night,

And angels praised God in heav’n.

The One of that name, my Saviour became,

My Saviour of Calvary;

My sins nailed Him there, my burdens He bare,

He suffered all this for me.

I love that blest name, that wonderful name,

Made higher than all in heav’n;

’Twas whispered, I know, in my heart long ago,

To Jesus my life I’ve giv’n.

REFRAIN

That beautiful name, that beautiful name,

From sin has pow’r to free us!

That beautiful name, that wonderful name,

That matchless name is Jesus!
