The Name of Jesus

By Pearl Waggoner

By Pearl Waggoner
“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” Prov. 18:10.
JESUS, Jesus, blessed name, Sweetest that our lips can frame! In the hour we’re sore distressed, What a peace there is, and rest, In the name of Jesus!
How it soothes our deepest woes When we think that Jesus knows! And we love His whispered name, Who in all points felt the same,— Just the name of Jesus!
How we love the names to hear Of earth friends we hold so dear! Yet not one gives half the bliss, Half the happiness of this,— Precious name of Jesus.
When perplexed and when in doubt,— Fears within, and foes without,— When we long for counsel kind, What a solace then we find In the name of Jesus!
Or, in seasons of delight, When earth’s sun is at its height; Who our cup of joy can share More than He who bore our care? Blessed name of Jesus!
Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name Human lips could ever frame! Palm to weary, troubled souls, Guide o’er life’s tempestuous shoals, In the name of Jesus.
Jesus, Jesus! Once again Listen to that sweet refrain! And our theme none else shall be Through a glad eternity, Than the name of Jesus.
