Wartburg Hymnal ‎#139

139. Jesus! Name of wondrous love

1 Jesus! Name of wondrous love,
Name, all other names above;
Name, at which must ev'ry knee
Bow in deep humility.

2 Jesus! Name of priceless worth
To the fallen sons of earth.
For the promise that it gave--
"Jesus shall His people save."

3 Jesus! Name of mercy mild,
Given to the Holy Child,
When the cup of human woe
First He tasted here below.

4 Jesus! Only name that's given
Under all the mighty heaven,
Whereby man, to sin enslaved,
Burst his fetters, and is saved.

5 Jesus! Name of wondrous love!
Human name of Him above!
Pleading only this we flee,
Helpless, O our God, to Thee!
