About the Song: "Glory to His Name"Also widely known as "Down at the Cross," this triumphant hymn was written by Elisha A. Hoffman in 1878 with music by John H. Stockton. For over 140 years, it has remained a staple of American spiritual music, celebrated for its joyful refrain and message of redemption. Down at the cross where my Savior died, Down where from cleansing from sin I cried, There to my heart was the blood applied; Glory to His Name! (Refrain)Glory to His Name, glory to His Name: There to my heart was the blood applied; Glory to His Name! I am so wondrously saved from sin, Jesus so sweetly abides within;There at the cross where He took me in; Glory to His Name! Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin, I am so glad I have entered in; There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean; Glory to His Name! Come to this fountain so rich and sweet, Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet; Plunge in today, and be made complete; Glory to His Name! #MountainDulcimer #GloryToHisName #BandyCreek #BigSouthFork #KnoxvilleDulcimerClub #Hymns #FolkMusic #AcousticDuet #SpringPlantingFestival #Dulcimer
