Hymn 68  

SUBJECT: PRAISE OF THE LORD—HIS NAME
METER: 8.7.8.7.D.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Joseph P. Holbrook

1Lord, Thy Name is called Jesus,
  Wonderful is this dear Name;
 Thou wast brought forth of the virgin,
  And the Son of man became.
 Thou art our Jehovah-Savior,
  Saving us from all our sins;
 When as Savior we receive Thee,
  Life divine in us begins.
2Thou as “Christ” art also titled,
  Title of Thy ministry;
 Thou art truly God’s anointed,
  Even from eternity.
 Thou, O Lord, art God’s Messiah;
  God appointed Thee in love,
 That Thou might fulfill His purpose
  And to all His glory prove.
3Thou art also called “Emmanuel”;
  ”God with us” Thou cam’st to be;
 God in grace is wholly mingled
  With our own humanity.
 God in flesh is manifested,
  Full of grace and truth therein;
 We have seen in Thee God’s glory,
  And in faith partake of Him.
4How we treasure all Thy names, Lord,
  How much they to us unfold;
 All their worth and all their sweetness
  We in love will ever hold.
 Precious Savior, we adore Thee,
  Worship unto Thee we bring;
 Our Emmanuel we exalt Thee,
  And Thy praise will ever sing.
