At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline M. Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 255 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

On Our Way Rejoicing
Author: John S. B. Monsell Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 196 hymnals First Line: On our way rejoicing, as we homeward move Lyrics: 1 On our way rejoicing,
As we homeward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O Thou God of love!
Is there grief or sadness?
Thine it cannot be!
Is our sky beclouded?
Clouds are not from Thee!
On our way rejoicing,
As we homeward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O Thou God of love!
2 If with honest-hearted
Love for God and man,
Day by day Thou find us
Doing what we can,
Thou Who giv'st the seed-time
Wilt give large increase,
Crown the head with blessings,
Fill the heart with peace.
On our way rejoicing,
As we homeward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O Thou God of love!
3 On our way rejoicing
Gladly let us go;
Conquered hath our Leader!
Vanquished is our foe!
Christ without, our safety;
Christ within, our joy;
Who, if we be faithful,
Can our hope destroy?
On our way rejoicing,
As we homeward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O Thou God of love!
4 Unto God the Father
Joyful songs we sing;
Unto God the Saviour
Thankful hearts we bring;
Unto God the Spirit
Bow we and adore,
On our way rejoicing
Now and evermore.
On our way rejoicing,
As we homeward move,
Hearken to our praises,
O Thou God of love!

Jesus, Lord, Redeemer
Author: Patrick Miller Kirkland, b. 1857 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lord, Redeemer,
Once for sinners slain,
Crucified in weakness,
Raised in pow'r to reign,
Dwelling with the Father,
Endless in your days,
Unto youe be glory,
Honor, blessing, praise.
2 Faithful ones, communing,
Toward the close of day,
Desolate and weary,
Met you in the way.
So, when sun is setting,
Come to us, and show
All the truth, and in us
Make our hearts to glow.
3 In the upper chamber,
Where the ten, in fear,
Gathered sad and troubled,
There you did appear.
So, O Lord, this evening,
Bid our sorrow cease;
Breathing on us, Saviour,
Say, "I give you peace."

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!

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.”

But unbounded grace
To bear condemnation
In the sinner’s place.

View Mount Calvary;

Since Thou by Thy passion
Didst for me atone,
Toke me as an offering,
Thine I’ll be alone.
3 In Thy wounds, O Jesus,
I have found true peace;
Thou in all distresses
Art a hiding place;
Unto Thee I’ll ever
Look with humble faith
And rejoice and glory
In Thy wounds and death.

Lie before Thy throne,
Though I scarce am able
To express, I own,
All my wants, dear Savior,
Yet Thou know’st them well;
Now in me the counsel
Of Thy love fulfill. Topics: God the Son Praise and Adoration of Christ Used With Tune: BERTHELSDORF
