400. At the Name of Jesus

Refrain:
At the name of Jesus ev'ry knee shall bend,
at the name of Jesus ev'ry knee shall bend.

1 'Tis our God's great pleasure we should speak God's name,
who from the beginning was fore'er the same. [Refrain]

2 Humbled for a season, to receive a name
from the lips of peoples unto whom he came. [Refrain]

3 Christ is truly Savior, Christ, the God adored,
ever to be worshiped, evermore adored. [Refrain]

4 In your hearts enthrone him, there let him subdue
all that is not holy, all that is not true. [Refrain]

5 Sisters, brothers, Jesus dwells with us again
now to let his vision o'er our hearts to reign. [Refrain]
