At the Name of Jesus

Words: Caroline M. Noel · Music: Ralph Vaughan Williams · 1870

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
At his voice creation sprang at once to sight,
all the angel faces, all the hosts of light.
Heavenly dominions, stars upon their way,
all the heav'nly orders in their great array.

Verse 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.

Verse 4
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 5
Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again
in his Father's glory, with his angel train.
All the wreaths of empires meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him King of glory now.
