Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) ‎#587a

587a. All hail the power of Jesus’ name!

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 morning stars of light,
who fixed this floating ball;
now hail the Strength-of-Israel's might
and crown him Lord of all.

3 Crown him, you martyrs of our God,
who from his altar call;
extol the Stem-of-Jesse's rod
and crown him Lord of all.

4 You seed of Israel's chosen race
and ransomed from the fall,
hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all!.

5 Hail him, you heirs of David's line,
whom David 'Lord' did call,
the God incarnate, Man divine —
and crown him Lord of all.

6 Sinners, whose love cannot forget
the wormwood and the gall,
go spread your trophies at his feet
and crown him Lord of all.

7 O that with every tribe and tongue
we at his feet may fall,
lift high the universal song
and crown him Lord of all.
