No Other Name

Topics: classic

"For there is none other name under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved."     Jesus! the only name that's given,         Through which salvation we may claim;     This, this alone, we breathe to Heaven,         For God accepts no other name.     No other name when skies are bright.         And sunshine glows on field and flower;     No other name when, dark as night,         The heavy clouds tempestuous lower.     No other name when, drooping low,         O'erburdened by sin's heavy load,     The contrite spirit pines to know         The way to hope, to Heaven, to God.     No other name when, like a flood,         Temptations beat upon the soul;     Faith, breathing that one name to God,         The raging billows shall control.     In peace or conflict, toil or rest,         In wealth or want, in praise or blame,     Still wear it graven on thy breast,         And, dying, plead no other name!
