To the name that brings salvation - (Tantum ergo)
To the name that brings salvation
Praise and honour let us pay,
Which for many a generation
Hid in God's foreknowledge lay,
But to every tongue and nation
Holy Church proclaims today.
Jesus-be that name our treasure,
Name beyond that words can tell;
Name of gladness, name of pleasure,
Ear and heart delighting well;
Name of sweetness, passing measure,
Freeing souls from sin's dark spell.
Name that calls for adoration,
Name that speaks of victory,
Name for grateful meditation
In the vale of misery,
Name for loving veneration
By the citizens on high.
Name that whosoever preaches
Makes sweet music to the ear;
Who in prayer this name beseeches
Finds divinest comfort near;
Joyful then the heart that reaches
To embrace that name so dear.
Name by hard-won right exalted
Over every other name;
And when man was sore assaulted
Put the enemy to shame:
Strength to them that else had halted,
Sight to blind, and health to lame.
Jesu, we thy name adoring,
Long to see thee as thou art:
Of thy clemency imploring
So to write it in our heart,
That hereafter, upward soaring,
We with angels may have part.
Praise and honour let us pay,
