761. "The name of Jesus"

1 Warrior kings their titles gain
From the nations they enchain;
Jesus, thou by worthier deed
From the thousands thou hast freed;--

2 Jesus;--only name that's given
Under all the mighty heaven,
Which can dying souls restore,
And give life for evermore.

3 Let not sins insane and base
From our rebel hearts efface
This blest name with blessings fraught,
By thy blood so dearly bought.
