All Hail the Power of Jesus Name Lyrics
1 All hail the power of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall,
bring forth the royal diadem
and crown him Lord of all.
2 Crown him you martyrs of our God,
who witnessed to his call;
exalt the one whose path you trod,
and crown him Lord of all.
3 Descendants of his chosen race
you ransomed from the Fall,
hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all.
4 Sinners, whose love cannot forget
the wormwood and the gall,
go spread your offering at his feet
and crown him Lord of all.
5 Let every people, nation, tribe,
on this terrestrial ball,
to him all majesty ascribe
and crown him Lord of all.
6 O that in heaven with that great throng,
we at his feet may fall,
join in the everlasting song
and crown him Lord of all.
All Hail the Power of Jesus Name! Hymn Story
THE Rev. Edward Perronet was a most devout man, who had the courage of his convictions and was not afraid to suffer for what he thought to be right.
He lived in the days of the Wesleys and was intimate with them, and the philanthropic Lady Huntingdon was his patroness for a time.
But these friends he felt it necessary to surrender because he conscientiously differed with them on some points of belief.
His immortal hymn, “All hail the power of Jesus name,” has proved a blessing to Protestants of all beliefs.
One of the most dramatic instances of its use was found in the experience of the Rev. E. P. Scott in India.
His friends had urged him not to venture near a certain barbarous inland tribe, whom he wished to evangelize. But he went forward with high courage, never wavering in his duty, and trusting in God to protect him.
When at last he reached their country among the hills, he came upon a company of these savages.
Immediately they surrounded him, pointing their spears at him with threatening scowls.
He had nothing in his hands but his violin; and so, closing his eyes, he began to play and sing, “All hail the power of Jesus name.”
When at last he opened his eyes, he expected to be killed instantly.
But his life had been spared through the singing of the hymn.
Their spears had dropped, and they received him first with curiosity and interest, and then later with eagerness, as he told them the gospel story and won their hearts to the will of Jesus Christ.
