Author: William W. How Hymnal: Laudes Domini #386 (1888) First Line: Jesus, name of wondrous love! 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! only name that's given
Under all the mighty heaven,
Whereby man, to sin enslaved,
Bursts his fetters, and is saved.
5 Jesus! name of wondrous love!
Human name of God above;
Pleading only this we flee,
Helpless, O our God, to thee.
