Through life’s trials—wars, tribulations, and challenges—and its joys and blessings, His name remains a constant source of beauty, salvation, and endless benefits. The repeated refrain, “How excellent is the name of Jesus Christ in all the earth,” echoes Psalm 8:1, “O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!” The poem calls for ceaseless, victorious rejoicing in His divine greatness, emphasizing His unmatched status and the eternal inheritance He offers as the “royal heir,” uniting it in a powerful declaration of faith and adoration.

How excellent is the name

of Jesus Christ our Lord in

all the earth. Through wars,

through tribulations, through

joys, through challenges, through

blessings, how excellent is the

name of Jesus Christ, our Lord

in all the earth! There is no name

that is higher, greater, or more exalted.

May we ceaselessly and victoriously

rejoice! For the beauty of Jesus Christ,

His excellence, His salvation, and His benefits

can never, no ever end for the royal heir!

O how excellent is the name of

Jesus Christ in all the earth!
