Jesus! exalted far on high,
To whom a name is given—
A name surpassing every name
That’s known in earth or heaven!
Before thy throne shall every knee
Bow down with one accord;
Before thy throne shall every tongue
Confess that thou art Lord.
Jesus! thou, in the form of God,
Didst equal honour claim;
Yet, to redeem our guilty souls,
Didst stoop to death and shame!
Oh may that mind in us be formed,
which shone so bright in thee—
An humble, meek, an lowly mind,
From pride and envy free!
To others we would stoop, and learn
To emulate thy love;
So shall we bear thine image here,
And share thy throne above.
