Author: W.W. How Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #211 (1913) Lyrics: 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,
Burst his fetters, and is saved.
6 Jesus, name of wondrous love,
Human name of God above;
Pleading only this we flee,
Helpless, 0 our God, to Thee. Topics: The Church Year New Year; The Church Year New Year; Jesus Christ Our Savior Tune Title: [Jesus, name of wondrous love]
