Jesus! the Name High over All

By Charles Wesley


      1.
      Jesus! the name high over all,
      in hell or earth or sky;
      angels and mortals prostrate fall,
      and devils fear and fly.

      2.
      Jesus! the name to sinners dear,
      the name to sinners given;
      it scatters all their guilty fear,
      it turns their hell to heaven.

      3.
      O that the world might taste and see
      the riches of his grace!
      The arms of love that compass me
      would all the world embrace.

      4.
      Thee I shall constantly proclaim,
      though earth and hell oppose;
      bold to confess thy glorious name
      before a world of foes.

      5.
      His only righteousness I show,
      his saving truth proclaim;
      'tis all my business here below
      to cry, "Behold the Lamb!"

      5.
      Happy, if with my latest breath
      I may but gasp his name,
      preach him to all and cry in death,
      "Behold, behold the Lamb!"
