Jesus, the name high over all

Jesus

the name high over all

In hell

or earth

or sky:

Angels and men before it fall

And devils fear and fly.

Jesus

the name to sinners dear

The name to sinners giv’n;

It scatters all their guilty fear

It brings them peace of heav’n.

Jesus the prisoner’s fetters breaks

And bruises Satan’s head;

Pow’r into strengthless souls He speaks

And life into the dead.

Oh

that the world might taste and see

The riches of His grace!

The arms of love that compass me

Would all mankind embrace.

Him as my righteousness I show

His saving truth proclaim:

’Tis all my business here below

To cry

Behold the Lamb!

Happy

if with my latest breath

I may but gasp His name:

Preach Him to all

and cry in death

“Behold

behold the Lamb!”
