All Hail the Pow’r of Jesus’ Name

Edward Perronet, an early Methodist and later independent minister, wrote one of the great praise hymns of all time. His original 8 verses are filled with biblical imagery that "crown Him Lord of All"!

LYRICS:

1 All hail the pow'r of Jesu's name!
Let Angels prostrate fall:
Bring forth the royal diadem,
To crown Him Lord of All.

2 Let high-born Seraphs tune the lyre,
And, as they tune it, fall
Before his face who tunes their choir,
And crown Him Lord of All.

3 Crown Him, ye morning stars of light,
Who fix'd this floating ball;
Now hail the strength of Israel's might,
And crown Him Lord of All

4 Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God,
Who from His altar call,
Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,
And crown Him Lord of All.

5 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,
Ye ransom'd of the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by his grace,
And crown Him Lord of All.

6 Hail Him, ye heirs of David's line,
Whom David Lord did call;
The God incarnate, Man divine,
And crown Him Lord of All.

7 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.

8 Let every tribe, and every tongue,
That hear the Saviour's call
Now shout in universal song,
The crowned Lord of All.
