High Above Every Name,
Jesus, The Great I Am!
Bows To Jesus Every Knee,
Things In Heaven, And Earth, And Hell;
Saints Adore Him, Demons Flee,
Fiends, And Men, And Angels Feel!
He Left His Throne Above,
Emptied Of All But Love:
Whom The Heavens Cannot Contain,
God, Vouchsafed A Worm To Appear,
Lord Of Glory, Son Of Man,
Poor, And Vile, And Abject Here.
His Own On Earth He Sought,
His Own Received Him Not;
Him A Sign By All Blasphemed,
Outcast And Despised Of Men,
Him They All A Madman Deemed,
Bold To Scoff The Nazarene.
Hail, Galilean King!
Thy Humble State I Sing,
Never Shall My Triumphs End;
Hail, Derided Majesty!
Jesus, Hail! The Sinner’s Friend,
Friend Of Publicans, – And Me.
