Twentieth (20th) Century Songs Part One ‎#68

68. Glorious Name

Oh! how sweet to the heart sad and weary,
With the burdens of care and of strife,
Is the name of the dear blessed Savior,
With its message of hope and of life.

Chorus:
Glorious name!
Glorious name!
Glorious name of our Savior and Friend,
It will cleanse you from sin, only trust it;
It will brighten the path to the end.

For He’s promised to bear all our burdens,
If on Him we will cast ev’ry care,
And we know He will closely watch o’er us,
And will hear ev’ry faltering pray’r.

Let us then bear this good news to others,
That they too may rejoice in His love,
And together we’ll join in His praises,
As we journey toward Heav’n above.
