Jesus! the Name High Over All
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 300 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the name high over all,
In hell or earth or sky;
Angels and men before it fall,
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.
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 His only righteousness I show,
His saving truth proclaim;
'Tis all my business here below
To cry, "Behold the Lamb!"
5 Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp His name;
Preach Him to all and cry in death,
"Behold, behold the Lamb!" Topics: The Gospel; Covenant; Gospel Tidings; MORNING; Opening Used With Tune: GRÄFENBERG

Jesus, the Very Thought of You
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,029 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of you
fills us with sweet delight,
but sweeter far your face to view
and rest within your light.
2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
nor can the memory find
a sweeter sound than your blest name,
O Savior of mankind!
3 O Hope of every contrite heart,
O Joy of all the meek,
how kind you are to those who fall,
how good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
no tongue or pen can show;
the love of Jesus, what it is
none but his loved ones know.

Jesus, the Very Thought of You
Jesus, Thy Boundless Love to Me
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 348 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:8 Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare;
O bind my thankful heart to Thee,
And reign without a rival there:
Thine wholy, Thine alone, I am;
Be Thou alone my constant flame.
2. O grant that nothing in my soul
May dwell but Thy pure love alone;
O may Thy love possess my whole,
My joy, my treasure, and my crown:
All coldness from my heart remove;
May ev'ry act, word, thought, be love.
3. O Love, how gracious is Thy way!
All fear before Thy presence flies;
Care, anguish, sorrow melt away,
Where'er Thy healing beams arise:
O Jesus, nothing may I see,
Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee.
4. In suff'ring, be Thy love my peace;
In weakness, be Thy love my pow'r;
And when the storms of life shall cease,
O Jesus, in that solemn hour,
In death as life be Thou my guide,
And save me, who for me hast died. Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

In hell or earth or sky;
Angels and men before it fall,
And devils fear and fly.
Jesus! the name of sinners dear,
The name to sinners given;

And life into the dead.

Would all mankind embrace.
