Kings and kingdoms will all pass away.

Title: There's Something About That Name
Composer: Gloria and William J. Gaither
Arranger: Fred Bock

This hymn was originally titled “The name of Jesus” in its first printing. I was included in Sacred Poems and Prose (1861), by its author, Frederick Whitfield (1829-1904). The earliest evidence of the lyrics are claimed to be in Goodman’s Village Hymn Book (1864). There are different tunes that became associated with these lyrics, Dwight Moody used a different tune in his Gospel Hymns (1896), so it is unclear when the lyrics and music for this hymn were originally combined. This arrangement by Fred Bock is very nice. I hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics:
Jesus Jesus Jesus
There's something about that name
Master savior Jesus
It's like the fragrance after rain

Jesus Jesus Jesus
Let Heaven and Earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away
There is something about that name

We Love the name
The holy name
Your precious name

Kings and kingdoms will all pass away
There is something about that name

We love the name
The holy name
Your precious name
