Verse 1

All hail the power of Jesus' name!

Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown Him Lord of all!

Verse 2

Let every kindred, every tribe,

On this terrestrial ball,

To Him all majesty ascribe,

And crown him Lord of all!

Verse 3

Oh, that with yonder sacred throng

We at his feet may fall;

Join in the everlasting song,

And crown Him Lord of all!
