Jesus! the name high over all

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 306 hymnals Topics: The Godhead The Son Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the name high over all, In hell, or earth, or sky; Angels and men before it fall, And devils fear and fly. 2 Jesus! the name to sinners dear, The name to sinners given; It scatters all their guilty fear, It turns their hell to heaven. 3 Jesus the prisoner's fetters breaks, And bruises Satan's head; Power into strengthless souls it speaks, And life into the dead. 4 O that the world might taste and see The riches of His grace! The arms of love that compass me Would all mankind embrace. 5 His only righteousness I show, His saving truth proclaim; 'Tis all my business here below To cry, "Behold the Lamb!" 6 Happy, if with my latest breath I may but gasp His name; Preach Him to all, and cry in death, "Behold, behold the Lamb!"

Not all the blood of beast

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 612 hymnals Topics: The Godhead The Son Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away our stain. 2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away; A sacrifice of nobler name, And richer blood, than they, 3 My faith would lay her hand On that meek head of Thine, While as a penitent I stand, And here confess my sin. 4 My soul looks back to see The burden Thou didst bear When hanging on the accursed tree, And knows her guilt was there. 5 Believing, we rejoice To feel the curse remove; We bless the Lamb, with cheerful voice, And trust His bleeding love.

O God, the Rock of ages

Bickersteth, 1825-1906 Appears in 204 hymnals Topics: The Godhead The Father Lyrics: 1 O God, the Rock of ages, Who evermore hast been, What time the tempest rages, Our dwelling-place serene: Before Thy first creations, O Lord, the same as now, To endless generations The Everlasting Thou! 2 Our years are like the shadows On sunny hills that lie, Or grasses in the meadows That blossom but to die: A sleep, a dream, a story By strangers quickly told, An unremaining glory Of things that soon are old. 3 O Thou, who canst not slumber, Whose light grows never pale, Teach us aright to number Our years before they fail. On us Thy mercy lighten, On us Thy goodness rest, And let Thy Spirit brighten The hearts Thyself hast blest. 4 Lord, crown our faith's endeavour With beauty and with grace, Till, clothed in light for ever, We see Thee face to face: A joy no language measures; A fountain brimming o'er; An endless flow of pleasures; An ocean without shore.

It is the golden casket, Where gems of truth are stored; It is the heaven-drawn picture Of Christ the living Word. 3 It floateth like a banner Before God's host unfurled; It shineth like a beacon Above the darkling world; It is the chart and compass That o'er life's surging sea, 'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands, Still guide, O Christ, to Thee. 4 O make Thy Church, dear Saviour, A lamp of burnished gold To bear before the nations Thy sure light as of old; O teach Thy wandering pilgrims By this their path to trace, Till, clouds and darkness ended, They see Thee face to face.
