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.
