015 AT THE NAME OF JESUS (AM 225) (HTC 172)

1.
At the name of Jesus
Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess Him
King of glory now:
this the Father's pleasure
that we 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 heavenly 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 eternal Godhead,
to the Father's throne
filled it with the glory of
his triumph won.
5.
Name Him,christians,name Him,
With love strong as death,
but with awe and wonder,
And with bated breath;
he is God the Saviour,
he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshipped,
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.
With his Father's glory
Jesus comes again,
angel hosts attend Him
and announce his reign;
for all wreaths of empire meet upon
his brow and our hearts
confess Him King of glory now.
