"I Know a Name"

[Nelson Bradford]

I know a name that can drive away all sorrow,
I know a name that is sweeter than them all;
I know a name from which comfort I may borrow
When others fail and when tears of anguish fall.

Refrain
I know a name, a wonderful name,
That wonderful name is Jesus.

Verse 2
I know a name that can still the raging tempest,
I know a name that can calm the troubled sea;
I know a name with a tender touch of healing
For every heart that by sin may troubled be.

Verse 3
I know a name that dispels the powers of evil,
I know a name that can break the tempter's snare;
I know a name that unlocks the gate of heaven
When through its merits I go to God in prayer.

Verse 4
I know a name, wondrous name above all others,
O sacred name by angelic hosts adored;
I know a name that is altogether lovely,
O precious name of my living Christ and Lord.
