Text: | Jesus! the Name High Over All |

Tune: | GRÄFENBERG |
Composer: | Johann Crüger, 1598-1662 |
1 Jesus! the name high over all,
In hell or earth or sky;
Angels and men before it fall,
And devils fear and fly.
2 Jesus! the name to sinners dear,
The name to sinners given;
It scatters all their guilty fear;
It turns their hell to heaven.
3 O that the world might taste and see
The riches of His grace!
The arms of love that compass me
Would all mankind embrace.
4 His only righteousness I show,
His saving truth proclaim;
'Tis all my business here below
To cry, "Behold the Lamb!"
5 Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp His name;
Preach Him to all and cry in death,
"Behold, behold the Lamb!"
