There's No Other Name Like Jesus

“There’s No Other Name Like Jesus” is a clear and joyful Christ-centered hymn by F. E. Belden that exalts the unique saving power and authority found in the name of Jesus Christ. Written in the late nineteenth century, the hymn reflects Belden’s strong biblical emphasis and evangelistic clarity. Its message is simple yet profound, affirming that salvation, hope, and eternal life are found in Christ alone.

The hymn draws directly from the apostolic declaration of Acts 4:12, that there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Belden emphasizes the exclusivity of Christ, not in a harsh or polemical tone, but in a worshipful and confident proclamation of gospel truth. The name of Jesus is presented as precious, powerful, and sufficient for every spiritual need.

A central theme of the hymn is the exaltation of Christ. Echoing Philippians 2:9-11, it affirms that God has highly exalted Jesus and given Him a name above every name. This exaltation is not merely future, but present, as believers already confess His lordship and trust in His saving work. The hymn invites worshipers to rejoice in Christ’s authority, victory over sin, and ongoing reign.

The hymn also highlights the personal meaning of Jesus’ name. In harmony with Matthew 1:21, it reminds believers that Jesus is the Savior who delivers His people from their sins. His name represents His mission, His mercy, and His finished work on the cross. Belden’s text encourages faith, gratitude, and wholehearted devotion to Christ as the only way to God, in keeping with John 14:6.

“There’s No Other Name Like Jesus” continues to serve as a strong confession of faith and a fitting hymn for evangelistic services, worship gatherings, and moments of testimony. Its enduring value lies in its unwavering focus on Christ alone as Savior and Lord, calling believers to rejoice, trust, and proclaim the matchless name of Jesus.
