Sweet is the savour of His Name
Verse 1
Sweet is the savour of His Name Who suffered in His people's stead; His portion here, reproach and shame: He liveth now; He once was dead.
Verse 2
He once was dead; the very same Who sits on yonder throne above; Who bears in heaven the greatest Name, Whom angels serve, whom angels love.
Verse 3
He once was dead; the very same Who made the worlds—a work of power, Who now upholds the mighty frame, And keeps it till the final hour.
Verse 4
He once was dead; but now He lives, His glory fills all heaven above; Its blessedness to heaven He gives. The fountain He of joy and love.
Verse 5
His people shall His triumph share, With Him shall live, and with Him reign; In heaven their joy is full, for there They see the Lamb for sinners slain.
