Jesus, Name of Wondrous Love

Jesus! Name of won­drous love!

Name all oth­er names ab­ove!

Unto which must ev­ery knee

Bow in deep hu­mil­ity.

Jesus! Name of price­less worth

To the fall­en sons of earth

For the pro­mise that it gave—

Jesus shall His peo­ple save.

Jesus! Name de­creed of old

To the maid­en mo­ther told—

Kneeling in her low­ly cell—

By the an­gel Ga­bri­el.

Jesus! Name of mer­cy mild

Given to the ho­ly Child

When the cup of hu­man woe

First He tasted here be­low.

Jesus! On­ly name that’s giv’n

Under all the migh­ty heav’n

Whereby man

to sin en­slaved

Bursts his fet­ters

and is saved.

Jesus! Name of won­drous love

Human name of God above!

Pleading on­ly this

we flee

Helpless

O our God

to Thee.
