Tune: | [Jesus! Name of wondrous love] |
Composer: | Rev. J. B. Dykes, Mus. Doc. |
1 Jesus! Name of wondrous love!
Name all other names above!
Unto which must every knee
Bow in deep humility.
2 Jesus! Name decreed of old:
To the maiden mother told,
Kneeling in her lowly cell,
By the angel Gabriel.
3 Jesus! Name of priceless worth
To the fallen sons of earth,
For the promise that it gave
"Jesus shall His people save."
4 Jesus! Name of mercy mild,
Given to the holy Child,
When the cup of human woe
First He tasted here below.
5 Jesus! only Name that's given,
Under all the mighty heaven,
Whereby man, to sin enslaved,
Bursts his fetters, and is saved.
6 Jesus! Name of wondrous love!
Human Name of God above;
Pleading only this we flee,
Helpless, O our God, to thee.
Amen.
