Jesus, exalted far on high
Thomas Cotterill • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 20:25-28
Verse 1
Jesus! exalted far on high, To Whom a Name is given-- A Name surpassing every name, That's known in earth or heaven!
Verse 2
Before whose throne shall every knee Bow down with one accord; Before Whose throne shall every tongue Confess that Thou art Lord;
Verse 3
Jesus, Who in the form of God, Didst equal honor claim, Yet, to redeem our guilty souls, Didst stoop to death and shame!
Verse 4
O may that mind in us be formed Which shone so bright in Thee, An humble, meek, and lowly mind, From pride and envy free!.
Verse 5
May we to others stoop, and learn To emulate Thy love; So shall we bear Thine image here, And share Thy throne above. Amen.
