Text: | Jesus! name of wondrous love! |
Author: | William W. How |
Tune: | NOMEN JESU |
Composer: | Richard Redhead |
1 Jesus! name of wondrous love!
Name all other names above!
Unto which must every 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! only name that's given
Under all the mighty heaven,
Whereby man, to sin enslaved,
Burst their fetters, and is saved.
5 Jesus! name of wondrous love!
Human name of God above;
Pleading only this we flee,
Helpless, 0 our God, to Thee.
Amen.
