Jesus! the name high over all, In hell, or earth, or sky:
Angels and men before it fall, And devils fear and fly.
Jesus! the name to sinners dear, The name to sinners giv'n;
It scatters all their guilty fear, It turns their hell to heav'n.
Jesus! the pris'ner's fetters breaks, And bruises Satan's head;
Power into strengthless souls it speaks, And life into the dead.
O that the world might taste and see The riches of His grace;
The arms of love that compass me Would all mankind embrace.
His only righteousness I show, His saving truth proclaim;
'Tis all my bus'ness here below To cry, "Behold the Lamb!"
Happy, if with my latest breath I may but gasp His name;
Preach Him to all, and cry in death, "Behold, behold the Lamb!"
