JESUS! the name high overBy A Collection of Hymns C.M. 1 JESUS! the name high over 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 given; It scatters all their guilty fear, It turns their hell to heaven. 3 Jesus! the prisoner's fetters breaks, And bruises Satan's head; Power into strengthless souls it speaks, And life into the dead. 4 O that the world might taste and see The riches of his grace! The arms of love that compass me Would all mankind embrace. 5 His only 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!"
