PRAISE OF THE LORD £ His Name
 
  | 
 | 
 | 1. | O how nigh the Lord is unto all who  | 
 |     | call on Him!  | 
 |     | When we call, His very presence  | 
 |     | strengthens us within.  | 
 |     | Seeking Jesus, He is found, and calling,  | 
 |     | He is near; | 
 |     | O what a comfort to our hearts to call  | 
 |     | His name so dear! | 
 |     | Jesus! O what a name!  | 
 |     | O Lord Jesus! Life-giving name!  | 
 |     | Name victorious, name all-glorious, | 
 |     | Name exalted-O what a name!  | 
 |     | Jesus! Strengthening name! | 
 |     | O Lord Jesus! Comforting name! | 
 |     | Name to breathe in prayer, calling  | 
 |     | everywhere;  | 
 |     | "O Lord Jesus!" O what a name! | 
 |     |   | 
 | 2. | Call upon the name of Jesus, and you  | 
 |     | will be saved,  | 
 |     | O Lord Jesus, hallelujah, nevermore  | 
 |     | enslaved!  | 
 |     | We may take salvation's cup by  | 
 |     | calling on the Lord;  | 
 |     | Salvation from a host of things  | 
 |     | does His dear name afford. | 
 |     |   | 
 | 3. | To the Lord, the Jew, the Greek and  | 
 |     | everyone's the same;  | 
 |     | He is rich unto all men that call  | 
 |     | upon His name.  | 
 |     | O Lord Jesus, what a joy to call  | 
 |     | and really live;  | 
 |     | When breathing in Thy name, what  | 
 |     | pleasure Thou to us dost give.  | 
 | 4. | In the God of our salvation we may  | 
 |     | take delight,  | 
 |     | Calling on His name at all times,  | 
 |     | though in bliss or blight. | 
 |     | I will call upon His name as long as  | 
 |     | I shall live, | 
 |     | Because He has inclined His ear,  | 
 |     | and grace so full does give.  | 
 | 5. | We will call upon the Lord,  | 
 |     | who's worthy of our praise; | 
 |     | Thus our grateful hearts in worship  | 
 |     | we to Him may raise. | 
 |     | We are those who call upon  | 
 |     | His name in every place  | 
 |     | With all the saints who from  | 
 |     | a pure heart call and taste His grace. |
