Lyics

THERE'S no name among men, nor angels so bright,

As is the name Jesus, the Father's delight;

The joy of his children; they speak of his name,

And sweetly its praises in songs they proclaim.



In all Christian churches this name is ador'd,

As their shield and glory with cheerful accord,

And there 'tis declar'd, the help of distress'd,

The hope of the hopeless, and ease of oppress'd.



The church of the first-born with angels of light;

Shall sound forth its praises with endless delight;

But fully unfolded, it can be by none,

Save Jesus among them the Father's own Son.
