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 giv’n;
It scatters all their guilty fear,
It turns their hell to Heav’n.

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 mankind might taste and see
The riches of His grace!
The arms of love that compass me
Would all the world embrace.

5. O that my Jesu’s heavenly charms
Might every bosom move!
Fly, sinners, fly into those arms
Of everlasting love.

6. Thee I shall constantly proclaim,
Though earth and hell oppose;
Bold to confess Thy glorious name
Before a world of foes.

7. His only righteousness I show,
His saving grace proclaim;
’Tis all my business here below
To cry Behold the Lamb!

8. Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp His name,
Preach Him to all and cry in death,
Behold, behold the Lamb!
