A Name I Highly Treasure
by Oscar C. Eliason
I’ve learned to know a name I highly treasure,
Oh, how it thrills my spirit through and through!
O precious name, beyond degree or measure,
My heart is stirred whene’er I think of You!
My heart is stirred whene’er I think of Jesus,
That blessed name which sets the captive free,
The only name through which I find salvation
No name on earth has meant so much to me.
That name brings gladness to a soul in sorrow;
It makes life’s shadows and its clouds depart;
Brings strength in weakness for today,
tomorrow; That name brings healing
to an aching heart.
That name still lives and will live on forever,
While kings and kingdoms will forgotten be.
Through mist or rain, ‘twill be beclouded never;
That name shall shine and shine eternally.
My heart is stirred whene’er I think of Jesus,
That blessed name which sets the captive free,
The only name through which I find salvation
No name on earth has meant so much to me.

The Power of Christian Song
Author Unknown
There’s something about a fine old hymn
That can stir the heart of a man;
That can reach to the goal of
his inmost soul
Such as no mere preaching can.
It’s more than the tune of
the song he sings
And it’s more than the poet’s rhyme—
It’s the Spirit of God working
through these things
That gives them their power sublime!
So we thank Thee, Lord,
for the fine old hymns;
May we use them again and again
As we seek to save from a hopeless grave
The souls of our fellow men!

That song was one that I remember George Beverly Shea singing! I've always loved it.
@quest4god@revelife - . Yes, he did sing this song. I have always loved it myself also. ~ Carolyn
