Lyrics

If my soul be true un­til I see
My Sav­ior on His throne,
O I won­der what my name will be
Engraved up­on the stone?

Refrain

O what will be my name above,
If I am true and trust His love?

If I ov­er­come by love di­vine,
His Gos­pel glad pro­claim,
What up­lift­ing rap­ture will be mine,
When I be­hold my name!

Refrain

I will fol­low Je­sus to the end,
And His com­mand­ments heed;
On my help my Sav­ior may de­pend,
For I that name would read.

Refrain

But I won­der what my name will be,
Engraved with per­fect love;
It will make me fight for vic­to­ry
Until I’m called above.
