Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#111

111. 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.

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

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 Thee I shall constantly proclaim,
though earth and hell oppose;
bold to confess Thy glorious name
before a world of foes.

5 His only righteousness I show,
His saving truth proclaim:
'tis all my business here below
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!"
