Jesus, the name high over all,
|
|
| 1. | Jesus, the name high over all, |
| | In hell, or earth, or sky: |
| | Angels and men before it fall, |
| | And devils fear and fly. |
| 2. | Jesus, the name to sinners dear, |
| | The name to sinners giv'n; |
| | It scatters all their guilty fear, |
| | It brings them peace of heav'n. |
| 3. | Jesus the prisoner's fetters breaks, |
| | And bruises Satan's head; |
| | Pow'r into strengthless souls He speaks, |
| | And life into the dead. |
| 4. | Oh, that the world might taste and see, |
| | The riches of His grace! |
| | The arms of love that compass me, |
| | Would all mankind embrace. |
| 5. | Him as my righteousness I show, |
| | His saving truth proclaim: |
| | 'Tis all my business here below, |
| | To cry, Behold the Lamb! |
| 6. | Happy, if with my latest breath |
| | I may but gasp His name: |
| | Preach Him to all, and cry in death, |
| | "Behold, behold the Lamb!" |
