Hymns Supplied Through the Gracious Generosity
of the Cyber Hymnal Website
Words: Unknown, possibly 15th Century (Gloriosi Salvatoris); translated from Latin to English by John Mason Neale in Mediaeval Hymns, 1851, as "In the Name that Brings Salvation." The version below appeared in Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861.
Music: "Triumph," Henry John Gauntlett (1805-1876)
To the Name of our salvation,
Laud and honor let us pay,
Which for many a generation
Hid in God's foreknowledge lay;
But with holy exultation
We may sing aloud today.
Jesus is the Name we treasure;
Name beyond what words can tell;
Name of gladness, Name of pleasure,
Ear and heart delighting well;
Name of sweetness, passing measure,
Saving us from sin and hell.
'Tis the Name for adoration,
Name for songs of victory,
Name for holy meditation
In this vale of misery,
Name for joyful veneration
By the citizens on high.
'Tis the Name that whoso preacheth
Speaks like music to the ear;
Who in prayer this Name beseecheth
Sweetest comfort findeth near;
Who its perfect wisdom reacheth,
Heavenly joy possesseth here.
Therefore we in love adoring,
This most blessèd Name revere;
Holy Jesus, Thee imploring
So to write it in us here,
That hereafter, heavenward soaring,
We may sing with angels there.
