the Name that brings Salvation

Honour, worship, laud we pay:

That for many a generation

Hid in foreknowledge lay;

But to every tongue and nation

Holy Church proclaims to-day.

Name of gladness, Name of pleasure,

By the tongue ineffable,

Name of sweetness passing measure,

To the ear delectable,

'Tis our safeguard and our treasure

'Tis our help 'gainst sin and hell.
