471 The Savior’s Name

Words: Frederick Whitfield, 1855

Music: T. B. McGraw, 1960

Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)

There is a name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music to mine ear,
The sweetest name on earth.

It bids my trembling soul rejoice,
And dries each rising tear;
It tells me in a small still voice
To trust and not to fear.
