Author: Caroline M. Noel Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #372 (1934) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 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 At His voice creation
Sprang at once to sight;
All the angel-faces,
All the hosts of light,
Thrones and dominions,
Stars upon their way,
All the heavenly orders
In their great array.
3 In your hearts enthrone Him,
There let Him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true.
Look to Him, your Captain,
In temptation's hour,
Let His will enfold you
In its light and power.
4 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. Topics: Angels; Creation; Christ as King; Christ as Lord; Name of Jesus; Profession of Faith; Sanctification; Second Coming of Christ; Temptation Languages: English Tune Title: KING OF GLORY
