Today’s hymn focus will be
Glory to His Name
Hebrews 9:22(ESV)
“ Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.”
Penned in 1879 by Elisha A. Hoffman, this hymn became the favorite of believers who wanted nothing more than to bring glory and praise to God for the wonderful work of salvation. He was inspired while reading about Christ’s crucifixion and how it was through the cross that God saved all of mankind. He shared these words with his friend John Stockton who put them to music.
Glory to His name, glory to His name,
There to my heart was the blood applied; Glory to His name
While his musical training was limited, it was through the times of family worship that he developed such a love for the sacred songs. He believed that lifting our voices in song and praise was “as natural a function of the soul as breathing was a function of the body.” Wake up and sing your songs of praise to God today!

Glory to His Name
1
Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my sin was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my sin was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!
Chorus:
Glory to His name,
Glory to His name;
There to my sin was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!
Glory to His name;
There to my sin was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!
2
I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where He took me in;
Glory to His name.
I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where He took me in;
Glory to His name.
3
Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to His name.
Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to His name.

Come to this fountain so rich and sweet;
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to His name.
Come to this fountain so rich and sweet;
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to His name.
