 1 

In 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.

 
 2 

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.

 
 3 

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;

 
 4 

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.

 
 5 

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 worshiped,

Trusted, and adored.

 
 6 

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.

 
 7 

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.
