At the Name of Jesus

Caroline M. Noel (1870) • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 1:1-19

Verse 1

At the name of Jesus Ev'ry knee shall bow, Ev'ry 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, Amongst whom he came. Faithfully he bore it, Spotless to the last, Brought it back victorious When from death he passed.

Verse 3

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 pow'r.

Verse 4

Kindred, 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.
