Hymn using same tune: #163 (Tune 1)

 
 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 giv'n;

It scatters all their guilty fear,

It brings them peace of heav'n.

 
 3 

Jesus the prisoner's fetters breaks,

And bruises Satan's head;

Pow'r 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 

Him as my 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!"
