At the Name of Jesus (Noel)

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.

Mighty and mys­te­ri­ous

In the high­est height

God from ev­er­last­ing

Very light of light:

In the Fa­ther’s bo­som

With the Spir­it blest

Love

in love eter­nal

Rest

in per­fect rest.

At His voice cre­ation

Sprang at once to sight

All the an­gel fac­es

All the hosts of light

Thrones and wide do­min­ions

Stars upon their way

All the heav’n­ly or­ders

In their great ar­ray.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
