/**The hymn John Stott has chosen to be sung at his funeral:

Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 ** **/

1.Jesus! the name high over all,

in hell or earth or sky;

angels and mortals prostrate fall,

and devils fear and fly.

2.Jesus! the name to sinners dear,

the name to sinners given;

it scatters all their guilty fear,

it turns their hell to heaven.

3.O that the world might taste and see

the riches of his grace!

The arms of love that compass me

would all the world embrace.

4.Thee I shall constantly proclaim,

though earth and hell oppose;

bold to confess thy glorious name

before a world of foes.

5.His only righteousness I show,

his saving truth proclaim;

’tis all my business here below

to cry, “Behold the Lamb!”

6.Happy, if with my latest breath

I may but gasp his name,

preach him to all and cry in death,

“Behold, behold the Lamb!”
