Melodies of Praise Lyrics
Hymn No.165

First Line: Is My Name Written There?,

1
Lord, I care not for riches, neither silver nor gold--
I would make sure of heaven, I would enter the fold.
In the book of Thy kingdom with its pages so fair,
Tell me, Jesus, my Savior, is my name written there?

Chorus:
Is my name written there,
On the page white and fair?
In the book of Thy kingdom,
Is my name written there?

2
Lord, my sins they are many, like the sands of the sea,
But Thy blood, O my Savior, is sufficient for me;
For Thy promise is written, in bright letters that glow,
“Tho' your sins be as scarlet, I will make them like snow.” (Chorus)

3
O that beautiful city with its mansions of light,
With its glorified beings in pure garments of white;
Where no evil thing cometh to despoil what is fair,
Where the angels are watching--yes, my name’s written there.
Yes, my name's written there,
On the page white and fair?
In the book of Thy kingdom,
Yes, my name's written there?
