One of my favorite song regarding how lovely is calling on the Lord's name! This was written by Isaac Watts during time of John and Charles Wesley. He wrote this in relation to Psalm 72:19 "And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may His glory fill the whole earth. Amen and Amen."
Portland, Oregon, United States
Not only do I love this most precious name of Jesus, but I love that saints all over this earth love His name as well. Praise Him, for only He could do this!
