My deepest joy and true reward
Was once a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes
Like the faith of every saint who’s gone before
I’ll put my hope in one name alone

Let his name be Jesus, Lamb who came to save
Who's worthy of all praise, Oh let his name echo through my days
Jesus, Greatest name I know
The One who stands alone
Oh let his name be Jesus
