Glory to His Name

“Glory to His Name” (also called “Down At The Cross”) is a hymn written by Elisha A. Hoffman in 1878. It is thought that Hoffman was reading about the crucifixion of Jesus in the Bible and began to think about how God saved men from their sins by allowing Jesus to die on the cross. The poem Hoffman wrote based on these thoughts was called “Glory to His Name”. John Stockton, a musician and member of Hoffman’s church, set the poem to music.
