Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New ‎#16b

16b. All hail the power of Jesus' name

1 All hail the pow'r 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 Crown him, all martyrs of your God,
who from his altar call;
praise him whose way of pain you trod,
and crown him, crown him, crown him,
crown him, and crown him Lord of all.

3 O prophets faithful to his word,
in matters get and small,
who made his voice of justice heard,
and crown him, crown him, crown him,
crown him, now crown him Lord of all.

4 All sinners, now redeemed by grace,
who heard your Savior's call,
now robed in light before his face,
and crown him, crown him, crown him,
crown him, O crown him Lord of all.

5 Let every tribe and every race
who heard the freedom call,
in liberation, see Christ's face
and crown him, crown him, crown him,
crown him, and crown him Lord of all.

6 Let every people, every tongue
to him their heart enthralling:
lift high the universal song
and crown him, crown him, crown him,
crown him, and crown him Lord of all.
