Glorious Is Thy Name (Blessed Saviour we adore thee)

This is a hymn about adoring Jesus.

It was written by American Baptist singer, song-writer and music editor Baylus Benjamin McKinney (1886-1952).

Copyright for it was first registered in 1942 by Broadman Press.  This means that it may still be copyright in some countries, but not in others where the term is 70 years from the author's death.

With meter 8.7.8.7. with refrain, the McKinney's tune is sometimes referred to as GLORIOUS NAME.

1 Blessed Saviour, we adore thee; we thy love and grace proclaim. Thou art mighty; thou art holy. Glorious is thy matchless name! Chorus: Glorious glorious is thy name, O Lord! 2 Great Redeemer, Lord and Master, light of all eternal days, let the saints of every nation sing thy just and endless praise! 3 From the throne of heaven's glory to the cross of sin and shame, thou didst come to die a ransom, guilty sinners to reclaim! 4 Come, O come, immortal Saviour, come and take thy royal throne. Come, and reign, and reign forever, be the kingdom all thine own!
