Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: Hymnal Supplement 1991 #754 (1991) Meter: 7.7.7.7 First Line: Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Lyrics: 1 Jesus! Name of wondrous love!
Name all other names above!
Unto which must ev'ry 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 of the 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 giv'n
Under all the mighty heav'n,
Whereby those to sin enslaved,
Burst their fetters and are saved.
6 Jesus! Name of wondrous love!
Human Name of God above;
Pleading only this we flee,
Helpless, 0 our God, to thee.
