Lyrics

There’s no oth­er name like Je­sus,
’Tis the dear­est name we know,
’Tis the an­gel’s joy in Hea­ven,
’Tis the Chris­tian’s joy be­low.

Refrain

Sweet name, dear name,
There’s no oth­er name like Je­sus,
Sweet name, dear name,
There’s no oth­er name like Je­sus.

There’s no oth­er name like Je­sus,
When the heart with grief is sad,
There’s no oth­er name like Je­sus
When the heart is free and glad.

Refrain

’Tis the hope that I shall see Him
When in glo­ry He ap­pears,
’Tis the hope to hear His wel­come
That my fain­ting spi­rit cheers.

Refrain

If He wills that I should la­bor
In His vine­yard day by day,
Then ’tis well if on­ly Je­sus
Blesses all I do or say.

Refrain

If he wills that death’s cold fin­ger
Touch my fee­ble, mor­tal clay,
Then ’tis well if on­ly Je­sus
Is my dy­ing trust and stay.
