In the Name of Jesus every knee

  1. 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.

  2. 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;

  3. 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.

  4. Name Him, brothers, name Him,
    Strong your love 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.

  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,
    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.
