Hymns of the Lutheran Church

211 Jesus, name of wondrous love,

1 Jesus, name of wondrous love, Name all other names above! Unto which must every knee Bow in deep humility. 2 Jesus, name decreed of old, To the maiden mother told, Kneeling in her lowly cell, By the angel Gabriel. 3 Jesus, name of priceless worth To the fallen sons of earth, For the promise that it gave, "Jesus shall His people save." 4 Jesus, name of mercy mild, Given to the holy Child, When the cup of human woe First He tasted here below. 5 Jesus, only name that's given Under all the mighty heaven, Whereby man, to sin enslaved, Bursts his fetters, and is saved. 6 Jesus, name of wondrous love, Human name of God above: Pleading only this we flee, Helpless, O our God, to Thee.
