Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
The name of Jesus brings:
Help to the helpless, — peace to the tormented, — rest to the restless, — hope to the hopeless, and — comfort to the comfortless.
This name has cooled the fevered brow, — broken the chains of sin, — delivered the captive, and — thrilled the saint.
Jesus is The Sweetest Name I Know
_______________________________
There have been names that I have loved to hear, — But never has there been a name so dear — To this heart of mine, as the name divine, — The precious, precious name of Jesus.
Chorus:
Jesus is the sweetest name I know, — And He’s just the same as His lovely name, — And that’s the reason why I love Him so; — Oh, Jesus is the sweetest name I know.
There is no name in earth or Heav’n above, — That we should give such honor and such love — As the blessed name, let us all acclaim, — That wondrous, glorious name of Jesus. - - -
And someday I shall see Him face to face — To thank and praise Him for His wondrous grace, — Which He gave to me, when He made me free, — The blessed Son of God called Jesus. - - -
