Ye Who the Name of Jesus Bear

Ye who the name of Je­sus bear

His sac­red steps pur­sue;

And let that mind which was in Him

Be al­so found in you.

Though in the form of God He was

His on­ly Son de­clared

Nor to be equal­ly ad­ored

As rob­be­ry did re­gard;

His great­ness He for us abased

For us His glo­ry veiled;

In hu­man like­ness dwelt on earth

His ma­jes­ty con­cealed:

Nor on­ly as a man ap­pears

But stoops a serv­ant low;

Submits to death

nay

bears the cross

In all its shame and woe.

Hence God this ge­ne­rous love to men

With hon­ors just hath crowned

And raised the name of Je­sus far

Above all names re­nowned:

That at this name

with sac­red awe

Each hum­ble knee should bow

Of hosts im­mor­tal in the skies

And na­tions spread be­low:

That all the pros­trate pow­ers of hell

Might trem­ble at His Word

And ev­ery tribe

and ev­ery tongue

Confess that He is Lord.
