I Know of a Name

Matt.1.21

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.

That beautiful name, that beautiful name,

From sin has power to free us!

That beautiful name, that wonderful name,

That matchless name is Jesus!

I know of a name, a beautiful name,

That unto a Babe was given.

The stars glittered bright throughout that glad night,

And angels praised God in Heav’n.

The One of that name, my Savior became,

My Savior 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 Heaven.

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

To Jesus my life I’ve giv’n.
