The Name of Christ. Col. 1. 19; 2. 9, 10; Matt. 1. 21

1 Sweet the name of Christ must be,
  From and to eternity;
  For it pleased the Father well,
  Fulness all in Christ should dwell.

2 Jesus is his name, and Christ;
  He my Surety is, and Priest;
  He has saved my soul from sin,
  And I stand complete in him.

3 [Unctuous is his heavenly love;
  He anoints me from above;
  When his heavenly odours flow,
  I have joy and peace below.]

4 Head o’er all is Christ to me,
  And I shall his glory see;
  Therefore in his name I’ll trust,
  And of him will make my boast.

5 All a hungry soul can want,
  Jesus’ name will richly grant;
  Not a blessing God can give,
  But with Christ the church shall have.

6 May I ever here confide,
  Let whatever ills betide;
  And if sufferings must ensue,
  Gladly bear those sufferings too.

7 May this name be all my choice;
  If reproached, let me rejoice;
  And with pleasure keep in view,
  What the Lord for me went through.
