6. Jesus! How Much Thy Name Unfolds

C.M.
by M. Bowley
1
Jesus! how much Thy name unfolds
 
To every opened ear;
 
The pardoned sinner’s memory holds
 
None other half so dear.
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)
“<<To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.>> O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.” (Psalm 8:1)
2
Thy name encircles every grace
 
That God as man could show;
 
There only could He fully trace
 
A life divine below.
3
Jesus — it speaks a life of love,
 
Of sorrows meekly borne;
 
It tells of sympathy above,
 
Whatever makes us mourn.
4
Jesus, the One who knew no sin,
 
Made sin to make us just;
 
Thou gav’st Thyself our love to win — 
 
Our full confiding trust.
5
The mention of Thy name shall bow
 
Our hearts to worship Thee;
 
The chiefest of ten thousand Thou,
 
Whose love has set us free.
“Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father.” (Galatians 1:4)
