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 | Jesus! the prisoner’s fetters breaks, And bruises Satan’s head; Power into strengthless souls it speaks, 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 all mankind embrace. |
||
5 | His only righteousness I show, His saving grace proclaim; ’Tis all my business here below, To cry, ‘Behold the Lamb!’ |
||
6 | Happy, if with my latest breath I might but gasp His name; Preach Him to all, and cry in death: ‘Behold, behold the Lamb!’ |

Charles Wesley, 1707-88 |
