I know of a world
that is sunk in shame,
Where hearts oft faint and tire;
But I know of a Name,
a precious Name,
That can set that world on fire;
Its sound is sweet, its letters flame.
I know of a Name, a precious Name,
’Tis Jesus.
I know of a Book a marvelous Book,
With a message for all who hear;
And the same dear Name,
His wonderful Name,
Illumines its pages clear;
The Book is His Word,
its message I’ve heard.
I know of a Name, a precious Name,
’Tis Jesus.
I know of a home
in Immanuel’s land,
Where hearts ne’er faint nor tire;
And His marvelous Name,
His own dear Name,
Inspires the heav’nly choir;
Hear the melody ringing,
my own heart singing.
I know of a Name, a precious Name,
’Tis Jesus.
