Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#36b

36b. Jesus, Name of Wondrous Love!

1 Jesus, Name of wondrous love!
Name all other names above!
Name, at which must every knee
Bow in deep humility!

2 Jesus, Name of priceless worth
To the fallen sons of earth!
For the promise that it gave,
"Jesus shall His people save."

3 Jesus, Name of mercy mild,
Given to the holy Child,
When the cup of human woe
First He tasted here below!

4 Jesus, Only name that's given
Under all the mighty heaven,
Whereby man, to sin enslaved,
Burst his fetters, and is saved!

5 Jesus, Name of wondrous love!
Human Name of Him above!
Pleading only this we flee,
Helpless, 0 our God, to Thee.

Amen.
