That Beautiful Name

1 I know of a name,  
A beautiful name,  
That angels bro't down to earth;  
They whispered it low  
One night long ago,  
To a maiden of lowly birth.  

Refrain:  
That beautiful name,  
That beautiful name,  
From sin has power to free us!  
That beautiful name,  
That wonderful name,  
That matchless name is Jesus!  

2 I know of a name,  
A beautiful name,  
That unto a Babe was given;  
The stars glittered bright  
Thro'out that glad night,  
And angels praised God in heav’n. [Refrain]  

3 The One of that name,  
My Savior became,  
My Savior of Calvary;  
My sins nailed Him there,  
My burdens He bare.  
He suffered all this for me. [Refrain]  

4 I love that blest name,  
That wonderful name,  
Made higher than all in heaven;  
’Twas whispered, I know,  
In my heart long ago,  
To Jesus my life I’ve given. [Refrain]
