HIGH above every name, Jesus, the great I AM! Bows to Jesus every knee, Things in heaven, and earth, and hell; Saints adore him, demons flee, Fiends, and men, and angels feel!

He left his throne above, Emptied of all but love: Whom the heavens cannot contain, God, vouchsafed a worm to appear, Lord of glory, Son of man, Poor, and vile, and abject here.

His own on earth he sought, His own received him not; Him a sign by all blasphemed, Outcast and despised of men, Him they all a madman deemed, Bold to scoff the Nazarene.

Hail, Galilean King! Thy humble state I sing, Never shall my triumphs end; Hail, derided Majesty! Jesus, hail! the sinner's friend, Friend of publicans, - and me.
