JESUS! the name high over

By 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!"
