Hymn 371 JESUS THE NAME HIGH OVER 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. Jesus the prisoner’s letters breaks,
And bruises Satan’s head;
Power into strengthless souls He speaks,
And life into the dead.

4. Oh,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 truth proclaim;
“Tis all my business here below,
To cry, “Behold he Lamb!”

6. Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp Hi name;
Preach Him to all and cry in death,
“Behold, behold the Lamb!”
