Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess Him

We should call Him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.

At His voice creation
Sprang at once to sight,
All the angel faces,
All the hosts of light,

Stars upon their way,
All the heavenly orders
In their great array.

Humbled for a season,
To receive a name
From the lips of sinners,
Unto whom He came;
He is God the Savior,
He is Christ the Lord,
Ever to be worshiped,
Trusted and adored.

Verse 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.
