Hymn-ful Sundays! All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

This week's hymn is one by Edward Perronet, a contemporary of John and Charles Wesley. Perronet was also and Anglican priest, and worked closely with the Wesley brothers during the eighteenth century revival.

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 tribe and every tongue 

before Him prostrate fall 

And shout in universal song 

the crownèd Lord of all. 

And shout in universal song 

the crownèd 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.

Edward Perronet

There is such a majestic air in this hymn! No matter who we are and what we have done, Peronnet calls on us all to crown Jesus Lord of all! And He is indeed, Lord of all. Even the angels fall before him, the Lamb who was slain for all sinners.

Be blessed and crown Him Lord of all!
