214. Jesus, the Name

1 Jesus! the name high over all,
The name to sinners given;
It scatters all their guilty fear;
It turns their hell to heaven.

2 O that the world might taste and see
The riches of His grace!
The arms of love that compass me
Would all mankind embrace.

3 His only righteousness I show,
His saving truth proclaim:
‘Tis all my business here below,
To cry, “Behold the Lamb!”

4 Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp His name;
Preach Him to call, and cry in death,
“Behold, behold the Lamb!”
