Jesus, the name high over all

23
				C.M.

1	Jesus, the name high over all,
	In hell, or earth, or sky:
	Angels and men before it fall,
	And devils fear and fly.

2	Jesus, the name to sinners dear,
	The name to sinners given;
	It scatters all their guilty fear,
	It turns their hell to heaven.

3	Jesus the prisoner's fetters breaks,
	And bruises Satan's head;
	Power into strengthless souls He speaks,
	And life into the dead.

4	Oh, that the world might taste and see,
	The riches of His grace!
	The arms of love that compass me,
	Would all mankind embrace.

5	His only righteousness I show,
	His saving truth proclaim:
	'Tis all my business here below,
	To cry, “Behold the Lamb!”

6	Happy, if with my latest breath
	I may but gasp His name:
	Preach Him to all, and cry in death,
	"Behold, behold the Lamb!"
