There’s No Other Name like Jesus

There’s no other name like Jesus,
’Tis the dearest name we know,
’Tis the angel’s joy in Heaven,
’Tis the Christian’s joy below.

Refrain

Sweet name (sweet name), dear name (dear name),
There’s no other name like Jesus,
Sweet name (sweet name), dear name (dear name),
There’s no other name like Jesus.

There’s no other name like Jesus,
When the heart with grief is sad,
There’s no other name like Jesus
When the heart is free and glad.

Refrain

’Tis the hope that I shall see Him
When in glory He appears,
’Tis the hope to hear His welcome
That my fainting spirit cheers.

Refrain

If He wills that I should labor
In His vineyard day by day,
Then ’tis well if only Jesus
Blesses all I do or say.

Refrain

If he wills that death’s cold finger
Touch my feeble, mortal clay,
Then ’tis well if only Jesus
Is my dying trust and stay.

Refrain

Author: George W. Bethune

Year: 1827

The lyrics match the first lines of the 1827 hymn 'There is no name so sweet on earth' by George W. Bethune (often printed without the 'on earth' phrase). Many later 19th-century American gospel songbooks adapted or shortened it to the exact chorus and stanzas shown here; some printings credit it simply as 'Traditional' or anonymous, but Bethune is the original author.
