Lyrics

No oth­er name but Thine, O Lord,
Can save a dy­ing soul,
And yet to plead that name in faith
Would make the vil­est whole.

Refrain

No oth­er name such hope can bring,
Or hea­ven­ly rest im­part;
No oth­er name such balm can give
To soothe a break­ing heart.

Thy name Oh how I love to breathe
In soft­ly whis­pered tone,
When in my clo­set, closed and still,
I talk with Thee alone.

Refrain

I feel, I know, Thou hear­est pray­er
And an­sw’rest my re­quest,
Bestowing what Thy love de­cides
The wis­est and the best.

Refrain

And when I reach Thy dear abode,
And all its joys are mine,
No oth­er name shall be my song—
No oth­er name but Thine.
