At the name of Jesus
1. At the name of Jesus,
ev’ry knee shall bow,
ev’ry tongue confess him
King of Glory now.
‘T is the Father's pleasure
we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning
was the mighty Word.
2. Humbled for a season,
to receive a name
from the lips of sinners
unto which he came.
Faithfully he bore it,
spotless to the last.
Brought it back victorious,
when through death he passed
3. Bore it up triumphant
with its human light,
thru 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.
4. 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 pow’r.
5. Jesus, Lord and Savior,
shall return again
with his Father's Glory,
o'er the earth to reign.
For all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow
and our hearts confess him
King of Glory now.
