At the name of Jesus

1.

At the name of Jesus

Every knee shall bow

Every tongue confess him

King of glory now;

’Tis the Father’s pleasure

We should call him Lord

Who from the beginning

Was the mighty Word

2.

At his voice creation;

Sprang at once to sight,

All the angel faces,

All the hosts of light

Thrones and Dominations

Stars upon their way

All the heavenly orders

In their great array

3.

Humbled for a season

To receive a name

From the lips of sinners

Unto whom he came

Faithfully he bore it

Spotless to the last

Brought it back victorious

When from death he passed

4.

Bore it up triumphant

With its human light,

Through all ranks of creatures

To the central height

To the throne of Godhead

To the Father’s breast;

Filled it with the glory

Of that perfect rest

5.

In your hearts enthrone him

There let him subdue

All that is not holy,

All that is not true;

Crown him as your captain

In temptation’s hour

Let his will enfold you

In its light and power

6.

Brothers, this Lord Jesus

Shall return again

With his Father’s glory

With his angel train

For all wreaths of empire

Meet upon his brow

And our hearts confess him

King of glory now
