To the Name of our salvation

Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #249 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Holy Name: New Year (January 1) Lyrics: 1. To the Name of our salvation laud and honor let us pay, which for many a generation hid in God's foreknowledge lay; but with holy exultation we may sing aloud today. 2. Jesus is the Name we treasure; Name beyond what words can tell; Name of gladness, Name of pleasure, ear and heart delighting well; Name of sweetness, passing measure, saving us from sin and hell. 3. 'Tis the Name that whoso preacheth speaks like music to the ear; who in prayer this Name beseecheth sweetest comfort findeth near; who its perfect wisdom reacheth, heavenly joy possesseth here. 4. Therefore we, in love adoring, this most blessed Name revere, holy Jesus, thee imploring so to write it in us here that hereafter, heavenward soaring, we may sing with angels there.

Human Name of God above; pleading only this we flee, helpless, O our God, to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: LOUEZ DIEU

We sing the glorious conquest before Damascus' gate, when Saul, the church's spoiler came breathing fear and hate. God's light shone down from heaven and broke cross the path.

O voice that spake within him; O strong, reproving Word; O Love that sought and held him a prisoner of his Lord; help us to know your kingship that we, in every hour, in all that may confront us, will trust your hidden power. 3. Your grace, by ways mysterious, our sinful wrath can bind, and in those least expected true servants you can find. In us you seek disciples to share your cross and crown and give you final service in glory at your throne. Languages: English Tune Title: MUNICH
