364. Jesus, the name high over all

1 Jesus, the name high over all,
in hell, or earth, or sky;
angels and mortals prostrate fall,
and devils fear and fly,
and devils fear and fly.

2 Jesus, the name to sinners dear,
the name to sinners giv'n;
it scatters all their guilty fear,
it turns their hell to heaven,
it turns their hell to heaven.

3 Jesus, the pris'ner's fetters breaks,
and bruises Satan's head;
pow'r into strengthless souls he speaks,
and life into the dead,
and life into the dead.

4 O, that the world might taste and see
the riches of his grace!
The arms of love that compass me,
hold all the human race,
hold all the human race.

5 His only righteousness I show,
his saving truth proclaim;
'tis all my business here below
to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!'
to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!'

6 Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp his name;
preach him to all, and cry in death:
'Behold, behold the Lamb!'
'Behold, behold the Lamb!'
