Jesus! the name high over all

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Appears in 300 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the name high over all, in hell, or earth, or sky; angels and earthlings to it fall, and devils fear and fly, and devils fear and fly. 2 Jesus! the name to sinners dear, the name to sinners given; it scatters all their guilty fear, it turns their hell to heaven, it turns their hell to heaven. 3 Jesus! the prisoner's fetters breaks, and bruises Satan's head; power into strengthless souls it speaks, and life into the dead, and life into the dead. 4 O that the world might taste and see the riches of his grace; the arms of love that compass me would everyone embrace, would everyone embrace. 5 Happy, if with my dying breath I might but gasp his name: preach him to all, and cry in death: behold, behold the Lamb, behold, behold the Lamb! Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-4 Used With Tune: LYDIA
