“In his name shall the Gentiles trust.” Matt. 12. 21

1 How sweet and precious is the name
  Of Jesus Christ, the Lord, the Lamb,
  To sinners in distress!
  A name just suited to their case;
  Pregnant with mercy, truth, and grace,
  With strength and righteousness.

2 [His name, as Jesus, suits them well;
  He saves from sin, wrath, law, and hell,
  From guilt and slavish fears.
  His name is Wonderful indeed;
  An able Counsellor, to plead,
  Just suits a case like theirs.]

3 [Immanuel! thrice-blessèd name!
  The God we trust is still the same!
  An endless Father, He;
  A most illustrious Prince of Peace;
  A Tower, a precious Hiding-place,
  Is Jesus Christ to me.]

4 [Yes, if his name be Lord of Hosts,
  Of his almighty power I’ll boast;
  He all my foes shall quell;
  He’s all the helpless soul can need;
  No ointment put on Aaron’s head,
  Could give so sweet a smell.]

5 In him the Gentile church shall trust;
  Of him shall sing; of him shall boast;
  On him cast all their care;
  He is their God, and they shall know
  What his almighty power can do,
  Nor death, nor danger fear.
