Jesus of Nazareth

lyricist: Daniel Whittle, 1891
Composer: James McGranahan

Jesus of Na­za­reth! O what a name!

Let us re­joice and His glo­ry pro­claim;

Savior and keep­er for­ev­er the same

Shepherd

Re­deem­er and Lord.

Jesus of Na­za­reth

once cru­ci­fied

Jesus of Na­za­reth

now glo­ri­fied

Jesus of Na­za­reth

throned at God’s side

Glory and praise to His name.

Jesus of Na­za­reth

tru­ly a man

Low in His cra­dle His life He began

Lived be­fore God

both in pat­tern and plan

Righteous

obe­di­ent One.

Jesus of Na­za­reth

nailed to the tree

Dying that we by His death might be free

Bearing the curse all for you and for me

Dying a ran­som for all.

Jesus of Na­za­reth

raised from the dead

Spotless and ho­ly

and still in our stead

Made for us ev­er our glo­ri­fied head

Raised from the dead for us all.

Jesus of Na­za­reth

seat­ed on high

Sending the Spir­it of grace to ap­ply

Life through the Word un­to men far and nigh

Offering sal­va­tion to all.

Jesus of Na­za­reth

earth’s com­ing king

Peace to the war­ring world soon He shall bring

Nations of saved ones His prais­es shall sing;

All shall bow down at His name.
