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.
2 Humbl'd 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 In your hearts enthrone him;
There let him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true;
May your voice entreat him
In temptation's hour;
Let his will enfold you
In its light and pow'r.
5 Christians, this Lord Jesus
Shall return again,
With his Father's glory
O'er the earth to reign;
Love and faithful service
We his subjects vow,
And our hearts proclaim him
King of glory now. Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11 Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S WESTON
