Jesus! exalted far on high,
to whom a name is given,
a name surpassing every name
that’s known in earth or heaven:
2. Before your throne shall every knee
bow down with one accord,
before your throne shall every tongue
confess that you are Lord.
3. Jesus, who in the form of God
could equal honour claim,
yet, to redeem our guilty souls,
stooped down to death and shame:
4. O may that mind in us be formed
which in your life we see!
May we be humble, lowly, meek,
from pride and envy free.
5. May we to others stoop, and learn
to imitate your love:
so shall we bear your image here,
and share your throne above.
