Jesus! the Name High over All
Charles Wesley (1749) • English
Primary Scripture: Genesis 3:8
Verse 1
Jesus, the Name high over all, in hell or earth or sky; angels and mortals prostrate fall, and devils fear and fly. Jesus, the Name to sinners dear, the Name to sinners giv'n; it scatters all their guilty fear, it turns their hell to heav'n.
Verse 2
O that the world might taste and see the riches of His grace! The arms of love that compass me would all the world embrace. Thee I shall constantly proclaim, tho' earth and hell oppose; bold to confess Thy glorious Name before a world of foes.
Verse 3
His only righteousness I show, His saving truth proclaim; 'tis all my business here below to cry, "Behold the Lamb!" Happy, if with my latest breath I may but gasp His Name, preach Him to all, and cry in death, "Behold, behold the Lamb!"
