All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

"All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" is a popular hymn sung by many Christian denominations.

The hymn is often called the "National Anthem of Christendom." [ [http://chi.gospelcom.net/DAILYF/2003/01/daily-01-02-2003.shtml January 2: Edward Perronet; Christian History Institute ] ] . The lyrics, written by Edward Perronet while he served as a missionary in India, first appeared in the November, 1779 issue of the "Gospel Magazine", which was edited by the renowned author of Rock of Ages, Augustus Toplady. The text has been translated into almost every (if not every) language in which Christianity is known. There are two well known tunes that are most popular with the hymn: "Coronation" and "Miles Lane"; but there are also anumber of others including "Diadem", which is most often sung as a choir number.

[ [http://www.hymnsite.com/lyrics/umh154.sht All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name ] ]
All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown Him Lord of all.

Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
ye ransomed from the Fall,
hail Him who saves you by His grace,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
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.
Go spread your trophies at His feet,
and crown Him Lord of all.

Let every kindred, every tribe
on this terrestrial ball,
to Him all majesty ascribe,
and crown Him Lord of all.
To Him all majesty ascribe,
and crown Him Lord of all.

O that with yonder sacred throng
we at His feet may fall!
We'll join the everlasting song,
and crown Him Lord of all.
We'll join the everlasting song,
and crown Him Lord of all.
