Hymn
Jesus! Name of Wondrous Love
Jesus! name of wondrous love!
Name all other names above!
Unto which must ev'ry knee
Bow in deep humility.
Jesus, name of priceless worth
To the fallen sons of earth,
For the promise that it gave:
Jesus shall His people save.
Jesus, name of mercy mild,
Given to the holy Child,
When the cup of human woe
First He tasted here below.
Jesus, only name that's giv'n
Under all the mighty heav'n,
Whereby man, by sin enslaved,
Bursts his fetters and is saved.
Jesus, name of wondrous love,
Human name of God above;
Pleading only this we flee,
Helpless, 0 our God, to Thee.
Amen.
