JESUS! exalted far on high, To Whom a name is given; A name surpassing every name, That’s known in earth or Heaven:
Before Whose throne shall every knee Bow down with one accord; Before Whose throne shall every tongue Confess that Thou art Lord.
Jesus! Who in the form of God Didst equal honour claim, Yet, to redeem our guilty souls, Didst stoop to death and shame.
O may that mind in us be formed Which shone so bright in Thee; May we be humble, lowly, meek, From pride and envy free.
May we to others stoop, and learn To imitate Thy love; So shall we bear Thine image here, And share Thy throne above.
Thomas Cotterill, 1779-1823
