Lyrics

There is on­ly one name that the saints adore—
Jesus, our el­der bro­ther;
They give Him all the praise, now and ev­er more;
His name is ov­er ev­ery oth­er.

Refrain

Then lift the hap­py strain,
And sing the glad re­frain—
The name, the name of Je­sus;
Then lift the hap­py strain,
And sing the glad re­frain—
The name, the name of Je­sus.

There is on­ly one name that the soul need know—
Jesus, the Lord’s an­oint­ed;
He suf­fered to re­deem us from sin and woe,
And bear us to the rest ap­point­ed.

Refrain

There is on­ly one name that the an­gels sing—
Jesus, the Lord of glo­ry;
They ga­ther at His feet while they hail Him king,
And list­en to re­demp­tion’s sto­ry.
