At The Name Of
Jesus
Philippians 2:10 that at
the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on
earth, and of those under the earth,
Words: Caroline M. Noel, The
Name of Jesus, and Other Verses for the Sick and Lonely, 1870.
Music: “Wye Valley,” James Mountain,
1876.
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.
Mighty and
mysterious in the highest height,
God from everlasting, very light of
light:
In the Father’s bosom with the spirit blest,
Love, in love eternal,
rest, in perfect rest.
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.
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,
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.
Name Him, brothers, name Him,
with love strong as death
But with awe and wonder, and with bated
breath!
He is God the Savior, He is Christ the Lord,
Ever to be
worshipped, trusted and adored.
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.
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.
