At the Name of Jesus

Author: Caroline M. Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 255 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1 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 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. 3 Bore it up triumphant with its human light, through all ranks of creatures to the central height; to the eternal Godhead, to the Father's throne, filled it with the glory of his triumph won. 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 power. 5 Christians, 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.

By foes derided, by thine own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee? Alas, my treason, Jesu, hath undone thee. 'Twas I, Lord Jesu, I it was denied thee: I crucified thee. 3 Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered: the slave hath sinned, and yet the Son hath suffered: for our atonement, while we nothing heeded, God interceded. 4 For me, kind Jesu, was thy incarnation, thy mortal sorrow, and thy life's oblation; thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion, for my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesu, since I cannot pay thee, I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee, think on thy pity and thy love unswerving, not my deserving.

All My Heart This Night Rejoices

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Appears in 277 hymnals Scripture: John 1:14 Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night rejoices as I hear far and near sweetest angel voices. "Christ is born," their choirs are singing 'til the air ev'rywhere now with joy is ringing. 2 Forth today the Conqu'ror goeth, who the foe, sin and woe, death and hell, o'erthroweth. God is man, man to deliver; his dear Son now is one with our blood forever. 3 Shall we still dread God's displeasure, who, to save, freely gave his most cherished Treasure? To redeem us, he hath given his own Son from the throne of his might in heaven. 4 He becomes the Lamb that taketh sin away and for aye full atonement maketh. For our life his own he tenders; and our race, by his grace, fit for glory renders. 5 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, soft and sweet, doth entreat, "Flee from woe and danger. Brethren, from all ills that grieve you, you are freed; all you need I will surely give you." 6 Come, then, banish all your sadness, one and all, great and small; come with songs of gladness. Love him who with love is glowing; hail the star, near and far light and joy bestowing. 7 Dearest Lord, thee will I cherish. Though my breath fail in death, yet I shall not perish, but with thee abide forever there on high, in that joy which can vanish never.
