At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline M. Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 253 hymnals Lyrics: 1. At 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. Mighty and mysterious
in the highest height,
God from everlasting,
very light of light:
In the Father’s bosom
with the spirit blest,
Love, in love eternal,
rest, in perfect rest.
3. 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 heavenly orders,
in their great array.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 worshipped,
trusted and adored.
7. 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.
8. 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. Used With Tune: WYE VALLEY Text Sources: The Name of Jesus, and Other Verses for the Sick and Lonely, 1870

Those Eternal Bowers
Author: John Mason Neale; St. John of Damascus Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 60 hymnals First Line: Those eternal bowers man hath never trod Lyrics:
Those eternal bowers
Man hath never trod,
Those unfading flowers
Round the Throne of GOD:
Who may hope to gain them
After weary fight?
Who at length attain them
Clad in robes of white?
He, who gladly barters
All on earthly ground;
He who, like the Martyrs,
Says, ‘I WILL be crowned:’
He, whose one oblation
Is a life of love;
Clinging to the nation
Of the Blest above.
Shame upon you, legions
Of the Heavenly King,
Denizens of regions
Past imagining!
What! with pipe and tabor
Fool away the light,
When He bids you labour,—
When He tells you,—‘Fight!’
While I do my duty,
Struggling through the tide,
Whisper Thou of beauty
On the other side!
Tell who will the story
Of our now distress:
Oh the future glory!
Oh the loveliness!
Hymns of the Eastern Church, 1866 Text Sources: Greek

Break Now the Bread of Life
Author: Mary A. Lathbury Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 721 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Break now the bread of life, Savior, to me,
as you once broke the loaves beside the sea;
Beyond the sacred page I seek you, Lord;
my spirit yearns for you, O Living Word.
2 Bless now the truth, dear Christ, to me, to me,
as you once blessed the bread by Galilee;
Then shall all bondage cease, all shackles fall,
and I shall find my peace, my all in all!.

Christian, dost thou see them
Author: Andrew of Crete, d. 732; John Mason Neale Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 305 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christian, dost thou see them
On the holy ground,
How the hosts of darkness
Compass thee around?
Christian, up and smite them,
Counting gain but loss:
Smite them by the merit
Of the holy Cross!
2 Christian, dost thou feel them,
How they work within,
Striving, tempting, luring,
Goading into sin?
Christian, never tremble;
Never be down-cast;
Gird thee for the battle,
Watch and pray and fast.
3 Christian, dost thou hear them
How they speak thee fair;
“Always fast and vigil?
Always watch and prayer?”
Christian, answer boldly:
“While I breathe, I pray.”
Peace shall follow battle,
Night shall end in day.
4 Hear the words of Jesus:
"O My servant true,
Thou art very weary,—
I was weary too:
But that toil shall make thee,
Some day all Mine own,
But the end of sorrow
Shall be near My Throne.”
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Used With Tune: HOLY WAR
