Hymn 153: Name of Jesus! highest Name!

Verse 1

Name of Jesus! highest Name!

Name that earth and heaven 

adore!

From the heart of God it came, 

Leads me to God’s heart once

more.


Verse 2

Name of Jesus! living tide!

Days of drought for me are past;

How much more than satisfied 

Are the thirsty lips at last!

Name of Jesus! dearest Name!

Bread of heaven, and balm of [love;

Oil of gladness, surest claim

To the treasures stored above.


Verse 4

Jesus gives forgiveness free.

Jesus cleanses all my stains;

Jesus gives His life to me,

Jesus always He remains.


Verse 5

Only Jesus! fairest Name!

Life, and res, and peace, and [bliss

Jesus, evermore the same.

He is mine, and I am his.
