Gloriosi Salvatoris
A German Hymn on the Festival of the Holy Name of Jesus. All that can be said of its date is, that it is clearly posterior to the Pange Lingua of S. Thomas, which it imitates. This hymn has been adopted in several hymnals.
To the Name that brings Salvation
Honour, worship, laud we pay:
That for many a generation
Hid in God's foreknowledge lay;
But to every tongue and nation
Holy Church proclaims to-day.
Name of gladness, Name of pleasure,
By the tongue ineffable,
Name of sweetness passing measure,
To the ear delectable,
'Tis our safeguard and our treasure
'Tis our help 'gainst sin and hell.
