Verse 1:Jesus, the name high over all,
In hell, or earth, or sky:
Angels and men before it fall,
And devils fear and fly.
Verse 2:Jesus, the name to sinners dear,
The name to sinners given;
It scatters all their guilty fear,
It brings them peace of heaven.
Verse 3:Jesus the prisoner’s fetters breaks,
And bruises Satan’s head;
Power into strengthless souls He speaks,
And life into the dead.
Verse 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.
Verse 5:Him as my righteousness I show,
His saving truth proclaim:
Tis all my business here below,
To cry, Behold the Lamb!
Verse 6:Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp His name:
Preach Him to all, and cry in death,
Behold, behold the Lamb!”
