The Name of Names

Father , thy Son hath died
The sinner's death of woe;
Stooping in love from heaven to earth,
Our curse to undergo;
Our curse to undergo,
Upon the hateful tree.
Give glory to thy Son, O Lord,
Put, honor on that name of names
By blessing me!

Father, thy Son hath borne
The sinner's doom of shame;
Bearing his cross without the gate,
He met the law's full claim;
He met the law's full claim,
Sin's righteous penalty.
Give glory to thy Son, O Lord,
Put honor on that name of names
By pardoning me!

Father, thy Son hath poured
His life-blood on this earth,
To cleanse away our guilt and stains,
To give us second birth;
To give us second birth,
From sin to set us free.
Give glory to thy Son, O Lord,
Put honor on that name of names
By cleansing me!

Father, thy Son hath risen,
O'ercoming hell's dark powers;
His surety-death was all for us,
His surety-life is ours;
His surety-life is ours,
Ours, ours eternally.
Give glory to thy Son, O Lord,
Put honor on that name of names
By quickening me!

Father, thy Son to thee
Is now gone up on high,
Enthroned in heaven at thy right hand,
He reigns eternally;
He reigns eternally,
In might and majesty.
Give glory to thy Son, O Lord.
Put honor on that name of names
By raising me!

Father, thy Son on earth,
No one to own him found,
He passed among the sons of men
Rejected and disowned;
Rejected and disowned,
That we received might be!
Give glory to thy Son, O Lord,
Put honor on that name of names
By owning me!

Father, thy Son is king,
Heaven's crown and earth's is his;
For us, for us, he bought the crown,
For us he earned the bliss;
For us he earned the bliss.
Amen, so let it be!
Give glory to thy Son, O Lord,
Put honor on that name of names
By crowning me!
