159. Jesus! name of wondrous love!

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.
