Text: | Jesus! Name of Wondrous Love |
Author: | William W. How, 1823-97 |
Tune: | GOTT SEI DANK |
1 Jesus! Name of wondrous love,
Name all other names above,
Unto which must ev'ry knee
Bow in deep humility.
2 Jesus! Name decreed of old,
To the maiden mother told,
Kneeling in her lowly cell,
By the angel Gabriel.
3 Jesus! Name of priceless worth
To the fallen sons of earth,
For the promise that it gave,
"Jesus shall his people save."
4 Jesus! Name of mercy mild,
Given to the holy Child
When the cup of human woe
First he tasted here below.
5 Jesus! Only name that's given
Under all the mighty heaven
Whereby man, to sin enslaved,
Burst his fetters and is saved.
6 Jesus! Name of wondrous love,
Human name of God above;
Pleading your redemption true,
We flee, helpless, Lord, to you.
