Ye, Who the Name of Jesus Bear

(DUNFERMLINE. 8.6.8.6)
1.

Ye, who the name of Jesus bear,
his sacred steps pursue;
and let that mind which was in him
be also found in you.

2.

His greatness he for us abased,
for us his glory veiled;
in human likeness dwelt on earth,
his majesty concealed;

3.

nor only as a man appears,
but stoops a servant low;
submits to death, nay, bears the cross,
in all its shame and woe.

4.

Hence God this gen'rous love to us
with honors just hath crowned,
and raised the name of Jesus far
above all names renowned:

5.

that at this name, with sacred awe,
each humble knee should bow,
of hosts immortal in the skies,
and nations spread below;

6.

that all the prostrate powers of hell
mqy tremble at his 2ord,
qnd every tribe and every tongue,
donfess that he is Lord.
