Have faith in God –
Made strong who once were weak;
Have faith in God –
For His true wisdom seek;
Have faith in God –
His Word is for the meek.
Have faith, dear friend, in God.

That Beautiful Name

Jean Perry, 1865-1935

    She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21.

    That Beautiful Name first appeared in The Voice of Thanksgiving, No. 2, a hymnal published in 1916 especially for use at the Moody Bible Institute.

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.

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.

That beautiful name, that beautiful name,
From sin has power to free us!
That beautiful name, that wonderful name,
That matchless name is Jesus!
