Hymn
At the Name of Jesus
At the Name of Jesus
Ev'ry knee shall bow.
Ev'ry 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.
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 heav'nly orders
In their great array.
In your hearts enthrone Him;
There let Him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true:
Look to Him your Captain
In temptation's hour,
Let His will enfold you
In its light and pow'r.
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.
