Praise His Name Above All Others

Representative Text

1 Christ Jesus for our sins atoned
With His own precious blood,
He rose in triumph from the tomb,
Ascending unto God;
Salvation free He gave to man,
Thro' matchless love divine,
And has prepared a beautiful place,
Most wonderful, sublime.

Chorus:
Oh, praise His name, above all other,
To the whole, wide world go tell
He is Lord of lords and King of kings,
Oh, praise Immanuel.

2 Oh, do you wear the name of Him?
Who stands for love supreme,
He made the sacrifice for sin,
Your soul to here redeem;
And when He left this world below,
The Holy Spirit came
To comfort those who love the Lord,
And wear the Saviour's name. [Chorus]

3 Oh, weary one in doubt and sin,
There's peace and rest for you,
If you will seek God's saving grace,
His will now meekly do;
Believe with all your heart in Christ,
Thro' Him salvation claim,
Come wash your soul in Jesus' blood,
And call upon His name. [Chorus]
