"All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name"

All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name

Edward Perronet, the son of an Anglican vicar, originally introduced "All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name." His family was closely associated with John Wesley of the Anglican Church. The verses written by Perronet have been called "The Coronation Hymn." The lyrics affirm the kingship of Christ and His authority. Much of the imagery used is from the Book of Revelation and from Jeremiah. The music sounds particularly beautiful when played by a violin. One of the more famous stories surrounding "All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name" involves the use of a violin.

A missionary to India named E. P. Scott learned of a wild mountain tribe that had never been introduced to the message of Christ. Since they had never been presented with the gospel, he decided to visit that tribe. When he reached their mountain home, he discovered a group of savages on a war expedition. They took him back to camp and threatened to kill him. He closed his eyes and starting playing " All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name" on his ever-present violin. The natives were so overcome; they dropped their spears and invited Rev. Scott to stay with them. He lived among them for over two years, converting many to Christianity.

All Hail The Power Of Jesus' Name!

(1) All hail the power of Jesus' name!

Let angels prostrate fall,

Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown Him,

crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,

And crown Him Lord of all.

(2) Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,

Ye ransomed from the fall,

Ye ransomed from the fall;

Hail Him who saves you by His grace,

And crown Him,

crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,

And crown Him Lord of all.

(3) Let every kindred, every tribe,

On this terrestrial ball,

On this terrestrial ball,

To Him all majesty ascribe,

And crown Him,

crown him, crown him, crown him,

And crown Him Lord of all.

(4) O that with yonder sacred throng

We at His feet may fall,

We at His feet may fall!

We'll join the everlasting song,

And crown Him,

crown him, crown him, crown him,

And crown Him Lord of all.

This hymn appeared in A Collection of Psalm Tunes (1780) under the name Miles Lane. Stanzas three and four were later penned by John Rippon (1751 – 1836.) The musical portion was written by William Shrubsole (1760 – 1806.)
