192 | Philippians 2:5-11 | 6 5. 6 5. D | |
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 | One day 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. |
