All hail the power of Jesus' name
Words: Edward Perronet (1726-92) alt. John Rippon (1751-1836) and others
Tune: Coronation
All hail the power of Jesus' name
let angels prostrate fall;
bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all.
Crown Him, ye morning stars of light,
who fixed this floating ball;
now hail the Strength of Israel's might
and crown Him Lord of all.
Ye prophets who our freedom won,
ye searchers, great and small,
by whom the work of truth is done,
now crown him Lord of all.
Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,
ye ransomed of the fall,
hail Him who saves you by His grace,
and crown him Lord of all.
Hail Him, the heir of David's line,
whom David Lord did call,
the God incarnate, Man divine,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Sinners whose love can ne'er forget
the wormwood and the gall,
go, spread your trophies at His feet,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Bless him, each poor oppressèd race
that Christ did upward call;
His hand in each achievement trace,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Let every tribe and every tongue
before Him prostrate fall,
and shout in universal song
the crownèd Lord of all.
O that with yonder sacred throng
we at His feet may fall,
join in the everlasting song,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Alleluia!
Selah.
