that Name

you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. - Mat. 1:21

Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears us up;
God is our salvation - Psalm 68:19

Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost - John 17:11-12

...
May the name of the God of Jacob protect you! - Psalm 20:1

Jesus
Long had I heard that holy Name adored

Repeated often in the gospel story
But now to know its meaning - 'tis the Lord
Who is salvation - this my hope and glory.
