Text: | Jesus, the name high over all |
Author (Verses): | Charles Wesley (1707-88) |
1 Jesus, the name high over all,
In Hell or earth or sky;
Angels and men before him fall,
And devils fear and fly.
Refrain:
We have no other argument,
We want no other plea;
It is enough that Jesus died,
And that he died for me.
2 Jesus, the name to sinners dear,
The name to sinners given;
He scatters all their guilty fear;
He turns their Hell to Heaven.
3 Jesus the prisoner’s fetters breaks,
And bruises Satan’s head;
Power into strengthless souls he speaks,
And life into the dead.
4 O that the world would taste and see
The riches of his grace;
The arms of love that compass me
Would all mankind embrace.
5 His glorious 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!
