In the Name of Jesus

lyricist: Caroline Maria Noel
Composer: William Henry Monk

In 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.

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 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.
