"His name shall be Wonderful." This Babe for whom, Even in village inn, there was no room? The lowing of cattle was His lullaby, Though caroling angels were thronging the sky. "His name shall be Wonderful." This little Lad, Living so simply, and so plainly clad? "His name shall be Wonderful." This Carpenter, Known from His childhood by each villager? "His name shall be Wonderful." Spat upon, shamed, Tortured and crucified--how is He named Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, He who one dark day Golgotha's road trod? His name shall be Wonderful--Jesus, God's Son! God's Word has promised, and it shall be done! Not meek and lowly, despised among men, This same Lord Jesus is coming again With clouds and great glory, to reign here below, And all men shall praise Him, and each knee shall bow. From ocean to ocean His name shall be heard, Wonderful name of our wonderful Lord! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SEMANTICS OF FLOWERS ON MEMORIAL DAY by BOB HICOK MA LADY'S LIPS AM LIKE DE HONEY (NEGRO LOVE SONG) by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE COLOR SERGEANT by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOHENGRIN; PROEM by EMMA LAZARUS ITALIAN PICTURES: THE COSTA SAN GIORGIO by MINA LOY CELSUS AT HADRIAN'S VILLA by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
