HIGH above every name,

By A Collection of Hymns


      2-6s & 4-7s. SECOND PART
      1 HIGH above every name,
      Jesus, the great I AM!
      Bows to Jesus every knee,
      Things in heaven, and earth, and hell;
      Saints adore him, demons flee,
      Fiends, and men, and angels feel!

      2 He left his throne above,
      Emptied of all but love:
      Whom the heavens cannot contain,
      God, vouchsafed a worm to appear,
      Lord of glory, Son of man,
      Poor, and vile, and abject here.

      3 His own on earth he sought,
      His own received him not;
      Him a sign by all blasphemed,
      Outcast and despised of men,
      Him they all a madman deemed,
      Bold to scoff the Nazarene.

      4 Hail, Galilean King!
      Thy humble state I sing,
      Never shall my triumphs end;
      Hail, derided Majesty!
      Jesus, hail! the sinner's friend,
      Friend of publicans, - and me.
