At the Name of Jesus (Tune: Camberwell - 4vv) [with lyrics for congregations]

[@edean75]

Used to sing this in school assembly in mis 1980s.... how far we have fallen.

[@ChetValleyChurches]

😊

[@oleggorky906]

Same here. This and songs like, Oh Jesus I Have Promised and Onward Christian Soldiers. Indeed. How far we have fallen!

[@JP_TaVeryMuch]

And did you bob down and back up like I and my fellow naughty schoolboy choristers did in our humourous (at aged ten) homage when we'd just sung "Every knee shall bow" ?

[@kaelaleedaley]

So did we in the early 90's - better days but the best days with Christ, worshipping in His presence are to come

[@maryvandermolen8345]

I came here too because I remembered this hymn from school assemblies in the 80s. Wonderful how it's stuck with me over the years! ✝️

[@bobwallacejnr6852]

I used to pretend I didnt like this as my mates took the mickey but inside I was screaming with elation for Jesus.The state of the world now he needs to make an appearance.

[@allisondudgeon1185]

I have always loved this particular hymn. Our music teacher at school hammered his way through the keys on the piano, I can still hear him everytime I hear this being played.

[@chrismclaren4871]

Remember singing this at assembly in primary school in the late 70s. I loved the tune and lyrics then and still do !

[@ChetValleyChurches]

😊

[@lees_box]

I used to play it on the piano at school assembly in the late 70's pmsl. It was very rousing. Sometimes we did it on 2 pianos at once, me on the bottom end and the other pianist doing the high stuff on the other piano.

[@stephaniehenderson6631]

Great words and tune! Lovely to hear the traditional organ music too. I do love contemporary worship songs and hymns, but these traditional hymns are amazing too and I love listening to them🥰🥰. Everyone will bow before Almighty God, the King of Kings when he comes again, what a glorious day that will be💖💖!! I do have to watch myself sometimes- that I am so busy looking forward to being with the Lord in the future that I am no earthly use right now 🙏😃

[@yvonnewratten5855]

Now im 75 .getting used to being an older pensioner and a widow .takes time

[@JudithMiguda]

Sang this in morning assemblies in the 70s at Kenya High School. It was one of my favourite hymns, and now I find it very spiritually uplifting still. God bless Mr. Ward wherever he is.

[@kevinoneil56]

Make no mistake, the best is yet to come! Look up, your redemption draws nigh!

[@charlesmartel7626]

Sang this at mass today, i really liked it so i took a picture of the title in the hymn book. Great hymn ✝️

[@ChetValleyChurches]

It's a good hymn, Charles. 😊🙏

[@aytonkirk]

Me too😂

[@laurettabrydon5462]

It is so good to hear hymns like this ,it encourages people to worship the Lord from the heart.

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Amen, Lauretta. 🙏

[@nigeljones8202]

What a lovely hymm, made a mark on me when in junior school 👍🙏

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Great. 🙏

[@livingrockchurch5521]

I also remeber this from our school assemblies, and it plays in my head sometimes. We had the Compton organ for accompaniment at GBHS. We must sing it at church in the new year!

[@emilyghose4877]

Sang this at Grange Hill Methodist. Can still imagine Ruth our pianist on the piano 🎹 Good times! 🎼 🎵 🎶

[@carwashslayer4235]

At the end of the day God is King. He will answer all your prayers. 1:26

[@yvonnewratten5855]

We had this at my fathers funeral It cheered me up no end .we sang it loudly at ourchurch

[@ChetValleyChurches]

🙏🏽

[@yvonnewratten5855]

My favourite hymn above all others .

[@cathybennett2415]

Wonderful! And I am bringing it back to our music ministry very soon! 🙏😊

[@yvonnewratten5855]

This always cheers me up.i find it very boring indeed being 74 .and a widow .

[@williamwei9524]

Praise and thanks be to the Lord my God and Savior Jesus Christ.

[@cindylou5340]

I also remember this hymn from school assembly. It will never die. 😮

[@cecilianiyifrancis4870]

The Name of God shall be praised forever in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen 🙏

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Amen, Cecilia. 🙏

[@piano9051]

I had totally forgotten about this hymn. Like other people in these comments, remember singing this at school in assembly. Really lovely song and like the accompanying, unfolding seascape shot.

[@yvonnewratten5855]

This is the modern tune .very nice .of the 60s origin .the original tune was sung by my nan Every day .

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Hi Yvonne, we expect that the tune you have in mind is, 'Evelyns'. We will be uploading a version to that tune shortly. 😊

[@revr.cweber8566]

The good news in all of this is that one day our Lord Jesus will return and every knee will bow before him willingly or not. Will you bow your knee now before him and invite him into your life as Lord and Saviour.

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Amen. 🙏

[@Ellanvanninadventures]

A school assembly banger. I haven't heard it for ages. Thanks

[@henkhekman2298]

sang it at Capernwray, UK, over half a century ago, good memories.

[@kthompson923]

Hallelujah, Hallelujah what a beautiful song. Praise be to God the Father.

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Amen. 😊

[@Eteotonio1]

Thank you for posting this wonderful hymn, I was searching for it for so long, until I found it here! Praise the name above all names, Jesus Christ, the King of all kings!

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Amen. You are very welcome. We're so pleased for you.

[@ujuchukwuka7975]

And our hearts confess Him King of Glory now

[@temitopefaleti7053]

I was first exposed to this hymn and the Camberwell tune when Songs Of Praise sang it at the 2008 Big Sing and got to love it since ☺️😁😀😊

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Excellent, Temitope. 😊🙏

[@chuasunny5505]

Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Lord Jesus.

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Amen. 🙏

[@clivesawers8270]

This setting is very close to how I play it, or try to. I suspect the whole idea is to avoid the “first two lines, pause then two beats of silence” to introduce the first verse. It works really well yet two recordings on KZbin have reintroduced the pause! By far the best way is without it!

[@patthomas367]

❤Amen King my Lord Jesus Christ.

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Amen, Pat. 🙏

[@elainepreston2139]

Had this at my sons funeral xx

[@ChetValleyChurches]

We're sorry to hear that, Elaine. We hope it was some consolation. 🙏

Ive been watching songs of praise on you tube .i wonder if you could find st pauls church in rusthall near tunbridge wells in kent ..1985 or 1986.i used to live there.

[@karengordon252]

Love this hymn used to sing it at school myself fab voice 🎉

[@ChetValleyChurches]

😊🙏

[@robertduncanmartin7249]

I really like this. It reminds me of Rodgers and Hammerstein. It could have come out of a Broadway musical. Great fun!

[@ChetValleyChurches]

😊

[@oleggorky906]

That’s a stirring old hymn.

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Indeed it is. 😊🙏

[@MeTube3]

Malvina Reynolds wrote Morningtown Ride in 1957, I am sure that Michael Brierley must have heard that melody before composing Camberwell.

[@ChetValleyChurches]

An interesting idea, Andrew. We can hear some similarities but not entirely convinced... 😊

[@Strange_Club]

@@ChetValleyChurches When we used to sing this in chapel (with a proper pipe organ ) it used to remind me of the Ovalteenies advert.

[@sebastianwelcome2080]

l used to sing it at my primary school too in the 1980s all siting down on that shinny dark wooden hall floor with them older projectors on wheels

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Good memories, we hope, Sebastian. 😃

[@sidpheasant7585]

Millions of us have the same memory. And to think the adults mostly had to manage with that rather dull old tune for this.

[@jackieburrows7673]

Awesome

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Indeed, Jackie. 😀

[@MrTesfayesus]

amen

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Amen. 🙏

Sang this im school

[@martinholford9337]

Who is the superb, colourful organist?

[@ChetValleyChurches]

We're not sure who was organist at Central Hall when this was recorded in 2011 and can't find any more information. Sorry.

[@ravijoshua2048]

Such effective use of the swell box! Really putting this rousing hymn through its paces!

[@Strange_Club]

Our school organist used to play it exactly like this (possibly even better! )

[@jodilieto6462]

Who was the organist on this recording? Great job!

[@ChetValleyChurches]

We're not sure. Sorry.

[@kingdomoutreach7668]

We have the copy of the song by Westminster Hall Choir and Epworth Singers, but would love to use your video for the song in our service this Sunday at Mellor Methodist if that was possible, with your permission? Fiona Murtagh

Yes, Fiona, of course. Please do. 😇

Yes to Jesus and not to one race of footballers in a stadium as if they are gods because they kick balls around and look right.

[@simonline1194]

The more the church turns her back on these beautiful traditional hymns (post Isaac Watts) the more she impoverishes herself. Simonline🤔😢
