Jesus! the name high over all
In hell, or earth, or sky
Angels and men before it fall
And devils fear and fly
And devils fear and fly
Jesus! the name to sinners dear
The name to sinners given
It scatters all their guilty fear
It turns their hell to heaven
It turns their hell to heaven
Jesus! the prisoners' fetters breaks
And bruises Satan's head
Power into strengthless souls it speaks
And life into the dead
And life into the dead
O that the world might taste and see
The riches of His grace!
The arms of love that compass me
Would all mankind embrace
Would all mankind embrace
His only righteousness I show
His saving grace proclaim
'Tis all my business here below
To cry: 'Behold the Lamb!'
To cry: 'Behold the Lamb!'
| |
Happy if with my latest breath
I might but gasp His name
Preach Him to all, and cry in death
'Behold, behold the Lamb!'
'Behold, behold the Lamb!'
