At the Name of Jesus

Author: Caroline Maria Noel, 1817 - 77 Appears in 269 hymnals Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service 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: Crown him as your captain In temptation's hour; Let his will enfold you In its light and power. 6 Brothers, this Lord Jesus Shall return again, In 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.

Awake, my soul, and sing Of him who died for thee, And hail him as thy matchless King Through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o'er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife For those he came to save. His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high, Who died, eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of love, Behold his hands and side, Rich wounds yet visible above In beauty glorified. No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his burning eye At mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of peace, Whose power a sceptre sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, Absorbed in prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, And round his piercèd feet Fair flowers of Paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, The Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me; Thy praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
