Original text and translations

English text

1  There is no name so sweet on earth, no name so sweet in heaven, the name before his wondrous birth to Christ the Saviour given. Refrain: We love to sing around our King, and hail him blessed Jesus; for there's no word ear ever heard so dear, so sweet as "Jesus." 2  And when he hung upon the tree, they wrote this name above him; that all might see the reason we forevermore must love him. [Refrain]

3  So now, upon his Father's throne, almighty to release us from sin and pains, he gladly reigns, the Prince and Saviour Jesus. [Refrain] 4  To Jesus ev'ry knee shall bow, and ev'ry tongue confess him, and we unite with saints in light, our only Lord to bless him. [Refrain] 5  O Jesus, by that matchless name, your grace shall fail us never; today as yesterday the same, you art the same forever. [Refrain]
