All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name
At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline M. Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 253 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:11 Lyrics: 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.
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 throne of Godhead, to the Father's breast;
filled it with the glory of that perfect rest.
5 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue
all that is not holy, all that is not true.
Look to him, your Savior, in temptation's hour;
let his will enfold you in its light and power.
6 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again,
with his Father's glory, o'er the earth to reign;
for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him King of glory now.

O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High
Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:8 Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
beyond all thought and fantasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake!
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptation sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us his daily works he wrought:
by words and signs and actions thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
4 For us to evil power betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us gave up his dying breath.
5 For us he rose from death again;
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep, so high, so broad
the Trinity, whom we adore
forever and forevermore.

is his, is his by right
the King of kings and Lord of lords,

the joy of all below,

and grants his Name to know.
4 To them the cross with all its shame,
with all its grace, is given;
their name, an everlasting name;
their joy, the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him:
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme.

Author: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius; John Mason Neale; Henry Williams Baker Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 214 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:11 Lyrics: 1 Of the Father's love begotten
ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega
he the source, the ending he,
of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see
evermore and evermore.
2 O that birth forever blessed,
when a virgin, blest with grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving,
bore the Savior of our race;
and the babe, the world's Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
evermore and evermore.
3 This is he whom seers in old time
chanted of with one accord,
whom the voices of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let creation praise its Lord
evermore and evermore.
4 Let the heights of heaven adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing:
powers, dominions, bow before him
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
every voice in concert ring
evermore and evermore.
5 Christ, to you, with God the Father
and the Spirit, there shall be
hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
and the shout of jubilee:
honor, glory, and dominion
and eternal victory
evermore and evermore!
Amen.

Philip. 2:6-12: Ye who the name of Jesus bear
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:6-12 First Line: Ye who the name of Jesus bear Lyrics:
Ye who the name of Jesus bear,
his sacred steps pursue;
And let that mind which was in him
be also found in you.
Though in the form of God he was,
his only Son declared,
Nor to be equally adored
as robb’ry did regard;
His greatness he for us abased,
for us his glory vailed;
In human likeness dwelt on earth,
his majesty concealed:
Nor only as a man appears,
but stoops a servant low;
Submits to death, nay, bears the cross,
in all its shame and woe.
Hence God this gen’rous love to men
with honours just hath crowned,
And raised the name of Jesus far
above all names renowned:
That at this name, with sacred awe,
each humble knee should bow
Of hosts immortal in the skies,
and nations spread below:
That all the prostrate pow’rs of hell
might tremble at his word,
And ev’ry tribe, and ev’ry tongue,
confess that he is Lord.

with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of your name
refresh my soul in death.

Bright King of Glory, dreadful God
Appears in 99 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:6-11 Lyrics: 1 Bright King of Glory, dreadful God!
Our Spirits bow before thy Seat,
To Thee we lift an humble Thought,
And worship at thine awful Feet.
2 Thy Pow'r hath form'd, thy Wisdom sways,
All Nature with a sov'reign Word;
And the bright World of Stars obeys
The Will of their superior Lord.
3 Mercy and Truth unite in one,
And smiling sit at thy Right-Hand;
Eternal Justice guards thy Throne,
And Vengeance waits thy dread Command.
4 A thousand Seraphs strong and bright,
Stand round the glorious Deity;
But who amongst the sons of Light
Pretends Comparison with Thee?
5 Yet there is one of human Frame,
Jesus, array'd in Flesh and Blood,
Thinks it no Robbery to claim
A full Equality with God.
6 Their Glory shines with equal Beams;
Their Essence is for ever one,
Tho' they are known by different Names,
The Father-God, and God the Son.
7 Then let the Name of Christ our King
With equal Honours be ador'd;
His Praise let every Angel sing,
And all the Nations own the Lord.
Bright King of Glory, dreadful God
The Advent of Our King
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; John Chandler, 1806-1876 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11 Lyrics: 1 The advent of our King
Our prayers must now employ,
And we must hymns of welcome sing
In strains of holy joy.
2 The everlasting Son
Incarnate deigns to be,
Himself a servant's form puts on
To set His servants free.
3 O Zion's daughter, rise
To meet your lowly King,
Nor let your faithless heart despise
The peace He comes to bring.
4 As judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again
And His true members all unite
With Him in heav'n to reign.
5 Before the dawning day
Let sin's dark deeds be gone,
The sinful self be put away,
The new self now put on.
6 All glory to the Son,
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever one
Through all eternity. Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS

Hymn 37 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:8-9 First Line: The mighty frame of glorious grace Lyrics:
The mighty frame of glorious grace,
That brightest monument of praise
That e'er the God of love designed,
Employs and fills my lab'ring mind.
Begin, my soul, the heav'nly song,
A burden for an angel's tongue:
When Gabriel sounds these awful things,
He tunes and summons all his stungs.
Proclaim inimitable love:
Jesus, the Lord of worlds above,
Puts off the beams of bright array,
And veils the God in mortal clay!
What black reproach defiled his name,
When with our sins he took our shame!
He whom adoring angels blessed
Is made the impious rebel's jest.
He that distributes crowns and thrones
Hangs on a tree, and bleeds, and groans!
The Prince of Life resigns his breath,
The King of Glory bows to death!
But see the wonders of his power,
He triumphs in his dying hour;
And while by Satan's rage he fell,
He dashed the rising hopes of hell.
Thus were the hosts of death subdued,
And sin was drowned in Jesus' blood;
Thus he arose, and reigns above,
And conquers sinners by his love.
Who shall fulfil this boundless song?
The theme surmounts an angel's tongue:
How low, how vain are mortal airs,
When Gabriel's nobler harp despairs!

who reigns enthroned above,
the Ancient of eternal days,
the God of love!
The Lord, the great I AM,
by earth and heaven confessed
we bow before his holy name
forever blest.
2 He by his name has sworn,
on this we shall depend,
and as on eagles' wings upborne
to heaven ascend.
There we shall see his face,
his power we shall adore
and sing the wonders of his grace
forevermore.
3 The goodly land I see,
with peace and plenty blest,
a land of sacred liberty
and endless rest.
There milk and honey flow,
and oil and wine abound;
the tree of life forever grows
with mercy crowned.
4 There rules the Lord our King,
the Lord our Righteousness,
victorious over death and sin,
the Prince of Peace.
On Zion's sacred height
his kingdom he maintains,
and glorious with his saints in light
forever reigns.
5 Triumphant hosts on high
give thanks to God and sing,
and "Holy, holy, holy" cry,
"Almighty King!"
Hail, Abraham's God and ours!
One mighty hymn we raise.
All power and majesty be yours
and endless praise!

Praise to the Holiest in the height
Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 170 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:5-8 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise:
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
2 O loving wisdom of our God,
When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O wisest love, that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail;
4 and that a higher gift than grace
should flesh and blood refine,
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine.
5 O generous love, that he who smote
in Man for man the foe,
the double agony in Man
for man should undergo,
6 and in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his friends, and thus inspire
to suffer and to die.
7 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise:
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
