The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#51

51. Jesus, Name of Wondrous Love

1 Jesus, Name of wondrous love!
Name all other names above!
Unto which must ev'ry knee
Bow in deep humility!

2 Jesus, Name of priceless worth
To the fallen sons of earth,
For the promise that it gave:
"Jesus shall His people save."

3 Jesus! Name of mercy mild,
Given to the holy Child,
When the cup of human woe
First He tasted here below!

4 Jesus, only name that's given
Under all the mighty heaven
Whereby man, to sin enslaved,
Burst his fetters, and is saved.

5 Jesus! Name of wondrous love!
Human Name of Him above!
Pleading only this, we flee,
Helpless, 0 our God, to Thee.

Amen.
