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