| Text: | Jesus! Name of wondrous love |
| Tune: | VIENNA |
| Composer: | J. H. Knecht |
1 Jesus! Name of wondrous love,
Name all other names above!
Unto which must every knee
Bow in deep humility.
2 Jesus! Name decreed of old,
To the maiden mother told,
Kneeling in her lowly cell,
By the angel Gabriel.
3 Jesus! Name of priceless worth
To the fallen sons of earth,
For the promise that it gave,
"Jesus shall His people save."
4 Jesus! Name of mercy mild,
Given to the holy Child,
When the cup of human woe
First He tasted here below.
5 Jesus! only Name that's given
Under all the mighty heaven,
Whereby man, to sin enslaved,
Bursts his fetters, and is saved.
6 Jesus! Name of wondrous love!
Human Name of God above!
Pleading only this, we flee,
Helpless, 0 our God, to Thee.
