GRH 177 There Is No Name So Sweet on Earth

(1)
There is no name so sweet on earth,
No name so dear in Heaven,
As that before His wondrous birth
To Christ the Saviour given.
We love to sing around our King,
And hail Him blessed Jesus;
For there’s no word ear ever heard
So dear, so sweet as Jesus.

(2)
‘Twas Gabriel first that did proclaim,
To His most blessed mother,
That name which now and ever more
We praise above all other.
We love to sing around our King,
And hail Him blessed Jesus;
For there’s no word ear ever heard
So dear, so sweet as Jesus.

(3)
And when He hung upon the tree,
They wrote His name above Him,
That all might see the reason we
Forevermore must love Him.
We love to sing around our King,
And hail Him blessed Jesus;
For there’s no word ear ever heard
So dear, so sweet as Jesus.

(4)
So now upon His Father’s throne,
Almighty to relieve us
From sin and pain, He ever reigns
The Prince and Saviour Jesus.
We love to sing around our King,
And hail Him blessed Jesus;
For there’s no word ear ever heard
So dear, so sweet as Jesus.

(5)
O Jesus, by that matchless Name
Thy grace shall fail us never;
Today as yesterday the same
Thou art the same forever.
We love to sing around our King,
And hail Him blessed Jesus;
For there’s no word ear ever heard
So dear, so sweet as Jesus.
