Conquering kings their titles take From the foes they captive make; Jesus, by a nobler deed, From the thousands he hath freed. | Yes: none other Name is given Unto mortals under heaven, Which can make the dead arise, And exalt them to the skies. | We would gladly for that Name Bear the cross, endure the shame; Joyfully for him to die Is not death, but victory. | Jesus, who dost condescend To be called the sinner's Friend, Hear us, as to thee we pray, Glorying in thy Name today. | |
