The Little Seraph ‎#122a

122a. The Sweetest Name

1 There is no name so sweet on earth,
No name so sweet in heaven,
The name, before his wondrous birth,
To Christ, the Saviour, given.

Chorus:
We love to sing around our King,
And hail him blessed Jesus;
For there's no word e'er ever heard,
So dear, so sweet, as Jesus.

2 His human name they did proclaim,
When Abram's son they seal'd him;
The name that still, by God's good will,
Deliverer reveal'd him. [Chorus]

3 And when he hung upon the tree,
They wrote his name above him,
That all might see the reason we
For evermore must love him. [Chorus]

4 So now upon his Father's throne,
Almighty to release us
From sin and pains, he gladly reigns,
The Prince and Saviour, Jesus. [Chorus]
