My Name's Written There
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A 19th-century American gospel revival hymn centered on the assurance of salvation through Christ's redeeming blood, using the biblical image of the Lamb's Book of Life. It pairs the believer's redeemed status—bought not with silver or gold but by Christ—with Isaiah's promise that sins scarlet will be made white as snow.
Verse 1
1 I am bought not with riches,
Neither silver nor gold;
But Christ hath redeemed me,
I am safe in His fold;
In the Book of His kingdom,
With its pages so fair,
Through Jesus my Saviour,
My name's written there.
Chorus
My name's written there,
On the page white and fair;
In the Book of God's kingdom,
My name's written there.
Verse 2
My sins, they were many,
Like the sands of the sea,
But the blood of my Saviour
Is sufficient for me;
For His promise is written,
In bright letters that glow,
"Though your sins be as scarlet,
I will make them like snow."
Chorus
My name's written there,
On the page white and fair;
In the Book of God's kingdom,
My name's written there.
Verse 3
Oh! 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,
My name's written there.
Chorus
My name's written there,
On the page white and fair;
In the Book of God's kingdom,
My name's written there.
