At the Name of Jesus

Verse 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.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 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 power.
