70. Jesus, Name Of Wondrous Love

1 Jesus, name of wondrous love,
Name all other names above;
Unto which must ev'ry knee
Bow in deep humility.

2 Jesus, name decreed of old,
To the maiden mother told,
By the angel Gabriel
In her small and lowly cell.

3 Jesus, name of mercy mild,
Given to the holy Child,
When the cup of human woe
First He tasted here below.

4 Jesus, name of priceless worth
To the fallen sons of earth
For the promise that it gave,
Jesus shall His people save.

5 Jesus, name alone on earth,
Which can give to man new birth,
And from sinful fetters free
That they may God's children be.

6 Jesus, name of wondrous love,
Human name of God above;
Pleading only this we flee,
Helpless, 0 our God, to Thee.
