Published in Charles Wesley's Hymns and Sacred Poems (1739) in fifteen stanzas of six lines, this hymn explores the divine titles and offices of Christ. When added to the Wesleyan Hymn Book in 1780, it was presented as a single two-part hymn (No. 187). By 1809, Methodist editors separated the text into two distinct hymns, with the second part beginning "High above every Name." Outside Methodist circles, use of both parts remained limited.
