 1 

O how nigh the Lord is unto all who call on Him!

When we call, His very presence strengthens us within.

Seeking Jesus, He is found, and calling, He is near —

O what a comfort to our hearts to call His name so dear!

 

Jesus! O what a name!

O Lord Jesus! Life-giving name!

Name victorious, name all-glorious,

Name exalted — O what a name!

Jesus! Strengthening name!

O Lord Jesus! Comforting name!

Name to breathe in prayer, calling everywhere,

"O Lord Jesus!" O what a name!

 
 2 

Call upon the name of Jesus, and you will be saved,

O Lord Jesus, hallelujah, nevermore enslaved!

We may take salvation's cup by calling on the Lord;

Salvation from a host of things does His dear name afford.

 

Jesus! O what a name!

O Lord Jesus! Life-giving name!

Name victorious, name all-glorious,

Name exalted — O what a name!

Jesus! Strengthening name!

O Lord Jesus! Comforting name!

Name to breathe in prayer, calling everywhere,

"O Lord Jesus!" O what a name!

 
 3 

To the Lord, the Jew, the Greek and everyone's the same;

He is rich unto all men that call upon His name.

O Lord Jesus, what a joy to call and really live;

When breathing in Thy name, what pleasure Thou to us dost give.

 

Jesus! O what a name!

O Lord Jesus! Life-giving name!

Name victorious, name all-glorious,

Name exalted — O what a name!

Jesus! Strengthening name!

O Lord Jesus! Comforting name!

Name to breathe in prayer, calling everywhere,

"O Lord Jesus!" O what a name!

 
 4 

In the God of our salvation we may take delight,

Calling on His name at all times, though in bliss or blight.

I will call upon His name as long as I shall live,

Because He has inclined His ear, and grace so full does give.

 

Jesus! O what a name!

O Lord Jesus! Life-giving name!

Name victorious, name all-glorious,

Name exalted — O what a name!

Jesus! Strengthening name!

O Lord Jesus! Comforting name!

Name to breathe in prayer, calling everywhere,

"O Lord Jesus!" O what a name!

 
 5 

We will call upon the Lord, who's worthy of our praise;

Thus our grateful hearts in worship we to Him may raise.

We are those who call upon His name in every place

With all the saints who from a pure heart call and taste His grace.

 

Jesus! O what a name!

O Lord Jesus! Life-giving name!

Name victorious, name all-glorious,

Name exalted — O what a name!

Jesus! Strengthening name!

O Lord Jesus! Comforting name!

Name to breathe in prayer, calling everywhere,

"O Lord Jesus!" O what a name!
