To the Name of our salvation
Author: Anon. Appears in 118 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To the Name of our salvation
Laud and honor let us pay,
Which for many a generation
Hid in God’s foreknowledge lay,
But with holy exultation
We may sing aloud today.
2 Jesus is the name we treasure,
Name beyond what words can tell;
Name of gladness, name of pleasure,
Ear and heart delighting well;
Name of sweetness passing measure,
Saving us from sin and hell.
3 ’Tis the name for adoration,
Name for songs of victory,
Name for holy meditation
In this vale of misery,
Name for joyful veneration
By the citizens on high.
4 ’Tis the name that whoso preacheth
Speaks like music to the ear;
Who in prayer this name beseecheth
Sweetest comfort findeth near;
Who its perfect wisdom reacheth
Heavenly joy possesseth here.
5 Jesus is the name exalted
Over every other name,
In this name, whene'er assaulted,
We can put our foes to shame;
Strength to them who else had halted,
Eyes to blind, and feet to lame.
6 Therefore we in love adoring,
This most blesséd name revere,
Holy Jesus, Thee imploring
So to write it in us here,
That hereafter heavenward soaring
We may sing with angels there. Topics: The Church Year New Year; Jesus Christ Our Savior Used With Tune: [To the Name of our salvation] (Haydn) Text Sources: Latin

To the name that brings salvation
Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #470 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 TO the name that brings salvation
Praise and honour let us pay,
Which for many a generation
Hid in God's foreknowledge lay,
But to every tongue and nation
Holy Church proclaims today.
2 Jesus—be that name our treasure,
Name beyond that words can tell;
Name of gladness, name of pleasure,
Ear and heart delighting well;
Name of sweetness, passing measure,
Freeing souls from sin's dark spell.
3 Name that calls for adoration,
Name that speaks of victory,
Name for grateful meditation
In the vale of misery,
Name for loving veneration
By the citizens on high.
4 Name that whosoever preaches
Makes sweet music to the ear;
Who in prayer this name beseeches
Finds divinest comfort near;
Joyful then the heart that reaches
To embrace that name so dear.
5 Name by hard-won right exalted
Over every other name;
And when man was sore assaulted
Put the enemy to shame:
Strength to them that else had halted,
Sight to blind, and health to lame.
6 Jesu, we thy name adoring,
Long to see thee as thou art:
Of thy clemency imploring
So to write it in our heart,
That hereafter, upward soaring,
We with angels may have part.
7 Where thou reignest with the Father,
Thou the everlasting Son,
Where with the eternal Spirit,
Threefold God, yet ever One,
May our eyes behold the splendour
When our earthly course is done. Topics: Procession; The Circumcision of Christ January 1st Languages: English Tune Title: ORIEL

To the Name That Brings Salvation
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #646 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 To the name that brings salvation
Let the nations bow the head;
Let them kneel in adoration
When this name of names is said;
Let them pray for restoration
Of all things in Christ the head.
2 He through every generation
Rules in endless majesty;
May the kings of every nation
Now foreswear their enmity,
And with humble veneration
In the love of God agree.
3 Lord, we pray for upright rulers:
Guard them surely in their need
From the vanity of power
And the emptiness of greed;
Let them see the truth of lowness,
And on justice let them feed. Topics: Christan Life Love of Country Tune Title: ST. LEONARD

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "To the Name of our salvation" in The Lutheran Hymnary In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Joseph Haydn
1732 - 1809 Person Name: J. M. Haydn (?) Arr. fr. of "[To the Name of our salvation] (Haydn)" in The Lutheran Hymnary Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music.

Henry J. Gauntlett
1805 - 1876 Person Name: H. J. Gauntlett Composer of "TRIUMPH" in The Church Hymnal Henry J. Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, July 9, 1805; d. London, England, February 21, 1876) When he was nine years old, Henry John Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, England, 1805; d. Kensington, London, England, 1876) became organist at his father's church in Olney, Buckinghamshire. At his father's insistence he studied law, practicing it until 1844, after which he chose to devote the rest of his life to music. He was an organist in various churches in the London area and became an important figure in the history of British pipe organs. A designer of organs for William Hill's company, Gauntlett extended the organ pedal range and in 1851 took out a patent on electric action for organs. Felix Mendelssohn chose him to play the organ part at the first performance of Elijah in Birmingham, England, in 1846. Gauntlett is said to have composed some ten thousand hymn tunes, most of which have been forgotten. Also a supporter of the use of plainchant in the church, Gauntlett published the Gregorian Hymnal of Matins and Evensong (1844).
