Sung by Br Brother John of the Cross, CSJ
In honor of the New Year and the upcoming feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus (January 3), here is a little experiment combining two beloved Christian songs. May 2023 find us calling more and more upon the Name of Jesus, without Whom we can do nothing! (cf. Jn 15:5). Lyrics: You were the Word at the beginning One with God the Lord Most High Your hidden glory in creation Now revealed in You our Christ What a beautiful Name it is What a beautiful Name it is The Name of Jesus Christ my King What a beautiful Name it is Nothing compares to this What a beautiful Name it is The Name of Jesus Lost are saved, find their way At the sound of Your Great Name All condemned feel no shame At the sound of Your Great Name Every fear has no place (You didn’t want heaven without us) At the sound of Your Great Name (So Jesus You brought heaven down) Sick are healed and the dead are raised (My sin was great Your love was greater) At the sound of Your Great Name (What could separate us now) Jesus, worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us Son of God and Man, You are high and lifted up That all the world will praise Your Great Name (What a wonderful Name it is What a wonderful Name it is The Name of Jesus Christ my King What a wonderful Name it is Nothing compares to this What a wonderful Name it is The Name of Jesus) Death could not hold You The veil tore before You You silence the boast of sin and grave The heavens are roaring The praise of Your glory For You are raised to life again You have no rival You have no equal Now and forever God You reign Yours is the kingdom Yours is the glory Yours is the Name above all names (Redeemer, my Healer, Lord Almighty My Savior, Defender, You are My King)(2x) What a powerful Name it is What a powerful Name it is The Name of Jesus Christ my King What a powerful Name it is Nothing can stand against What a powerful Name it is The Name of Jesus (Jesus, worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us Son of God and Man, You are high and lifted up That all the world will praise Your Great Name) Your Great Name (The Name of Jesus) Your Great Name (The Name of Jesus)
