Jesus! exalted far on high

Author: Cotteril Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:19-23 Lyrics: 1 Jesus! exalted far on high, To whom a name is given-- A name surpassing every name That's known in earth or heaven! 2 Before thy throne shall every knee Bow down with one accord; Before thy throne shall every tongue Confess that thou art Lord. 3 Jesus! thou, in the form of God, Didst equal honor claim; Yet, to redeem our guilty souls, Didst stoop to death and shame! 4 Oh, may that mind in us be formed, Which shone so bright in thee-- An humble, meek, and lowly mind, From pride and envy free! 5 To others we would stoop, and learn To emulate thy love; So shall we bear thine image here, And share thy throne above.
