At the Name of Jesus - Lyrics

At the name of Jesus
evry knee shall bow
evry tongue confess him
King of glory now
tis the Fathers 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
cherubim in heaven
stars upon their way
all the heavnly orders
in their great array


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


Bore it up triumphant
with its human light
thro all ranks of creatures
to the central height
to the throne of Godhead
to the Fathers breast
filled it with the glory
of that perfect rest


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 temptations hour
let his will enfold you
in its light and powr


Christians this Lord Jesus
shall return again
in his Fathers glory
with his angel train
for all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow
and our hearts confess him
King of glory now
