Immanuel, Exalted Above Every Name

Verse 1

Jesus, thou highest, loveliest name Of all on earth of heav'n, The blest reward of all thy shame, By thy great father giv'n.

Verse 2

Because thou didst thy heavens bow, Thy people's ancient Ssuit; Cam'st down in servant's form, so low, As loss of all repute.

Verse 3

In fashion as that fallen race, Whose offspring are but grass, Thou took'st the meanest servile place In all their lowest class:

Verse 4

Becam'st obedient unto death, Nor could'st, nor would'st thou flee; But humbly didst resign thy breath Upon the shameful tree!

Verse 5

Therefore hath God exalted thee, And set thee up on high; Where thou shalt prais'd and worshipp'd be To all eternity.
