LYRICS:
1 All hail the pow'r of Jesu's name!
Let Angels prostrate fall:
Bring forth the royal diadem,
To crown Him Lord of All.
2 Let high-born Seraphs tune the lyre,
And, as they tune it, fall
Before his face who tunes their choir,
And crown Him Lord of All.
3 Crown Him, ye morning stars of light,
Who fix'd this floating ball;
Now hail the strength of Israel's might,
And crown Him Lord of All
4 Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God,
Who from His altar call,
Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,
And crown Him Lord of All.
5 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,
Ye ransom'd of the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by his grace,
And crown Him Lord of All.
6 Hail Him, ye heirs of David's line,
Whom David Lord did call;
The God incarnate, Man divine,
And crown Him Lord of All.
7 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget,
The wormwood and the gall,
Go spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown Him Lord of All.
8 Let every tribe, and every tongue,
That hear the Saviour's call
Now shout in universal song,
The crowned Lord of All.

Years ago I was Blessed to attend a "Promise Keepers” men’s conference in Indianapolis, Indiana USA. They opened the conference with this Wonderful Song. Many years later I can still feel the Power and effect of this song being sung by approx. sixty to sixty five thousand men and their sons in a football stadium with a closed roof. I thought that the top of the stadium was going to be blown off the building. It left a standing effect as to The POWERE OF JESUS NAME. Just found your channel and subscribed, wanted to Thank You for doing this for us all to hear, and be reminded of the song we sang through out our lives here in the USA. My dad was a Baptist Preacher for 48 yrs. till JESUS called him home. Again Thank You and May GOD RICHLY BLESS YOUR MINISTRY 🙏🙏🙏

[@susanabram149]

We sing it in my Baptist church after we take the Lord’s Supper. Beautiful and very special!

[@JohnCBurzynski]

I first heard this song in 1977 at Faith Memorial Church in Atlanta, Georgia. It was the call to worship at every service. BTW, your ministry is a real blessing and encouragement. Thank you!

[@ruthraj7145]

Truly it’s a blessing to crown our Lord Jesus Christ.Joyful worship hymn.Thank you so much Pastor Luke. You are unique in your ministry.Brilliant ❤🎶✍️📖

[@gladys763]

Thank you for singing both versions of this song. As a child we sang this song often in a Baptist church.

[@tessaviljoen6320]

I like the story behind the hymn, please don't stop explaining the hymn

[@margarethennessey2583]

I just love this hymn. They don’t sing today I nfortunately. It is All Hail of Jesus Name. What a wonderful blessing to me this is.

[@FBDerringer]

Sang it since I was very young in Presbyterian, Lutheran, and Baptist churches. God is good no matter where.

[@LaurieR54]

Growing up in the Baptist Church, we sang this quite often. I appreciate hearing the history and all the verses. This hymn declares that Jesus is the Name above all Names, and He is King and Lord of all! He is so worthy!

[@1JohnnyD]

Amen. Same here. How nice to sing all 8 verses!

[@jamellfoster6029]

Likewise. I'm Presbyterian now and we still sing it.

[@jamellfoster6029]

Amen. In the Presbyterian Church ⛪️ as well.

[@RhondaCope-rk3ez]

Luke continuously, I enjoy the wonderful way to express these lovely written hymns Truly enjoy you singing them also You sing each word Thank you Blessing Gods Breathe Length Height And withe Is his love for Us Through Our Lord Christ

[@Carol-ej9bc]

Loved the line "stem of Jesse" - Jesus is the shoot from the dead stump of Jesse's family, but this recognizes Him as the strong STEM - the whole new TREE of the worldwide family of God. Certainly deserving of our worship.

[@StanManningManning]

God is tone deaf I love that! I can’t carry a tune in a bucket. But that doesn’t stop me!

[@TheKimmiek]

The majesty of Christ is exalted in this song. Something that is often missing in modern worship songs

[@Orpilorp]

Sweet! This was a hymn I grew up with, though I learned it with a slightly different chorus. What a joy we will have when we lay our crowns at Jesus' feet.

[@maryanngames9353]

I learned this hymn when I was a teenager. Now at the age of 80 I still enjoy it just as much 😊❤

[@sallychildsmith3935]

Yes I LOVE this hymn, and we sang it the same as the last 4 verses "Crown Him, x 4 and Crown Him Lord of all. Magnificent hymn. I also really love the history of the hymn. Thank you Pastor Luke, Friday Classical hymns is a wonderful Blessing to me.

[@WoosterBreeze]

One of my very favorites ❤ Grew up in a Baptist church singing this and as an adult. Thank you!

[@thomaswakefield3352]

Never heard the latter melody. Both are beautiful, and the flip worked really well. Thank you.

[@bonniemoon6790]

God bless you for making these.

[@debcarroll8192]

We sang this one to several tunes when I was growing up in the Baptist church, but mostly the first version you played. Our words were a bit different, though. My favorite verse goes, "Let every kindred, every tribe on this celestial ball To Him all majesty ascribe and crown Him Lord of all." Whenever I sing it I can't help but think of my brothers and sisters in Christ in countries all over the world who are praising Him too.

[@glenturrell4485]

I often go to sleep with this great hymn going through my head. Growing up Methodist, I enjoyed singing the bass parts with my dad. Wonderful words and music that I miss in contemporary church music. Thanks for this!

[@stanelder3523]

A lot of these Hymns are from my childhood. They bring peace to my soul.

[@ChiamakaNneabameze.]

I'm waiting ❤❤🎉

[@christinerobinson547]

Lovely, yes, this was one of the songs we used to sing in School Assembly. How the world has changed, and "waxed worse", however Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and FOREVER!! ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME!! Thankyou Lord!!

[@4Lights.5Liights]

old Baptist church in SanAntonio Texas, I learned this song.

[@hilarylewis7017]

This a favorite hymn of mine !!! Thank you from my heart ♥ !!!

[@shazinoz]

Thank you for these Luke, and for learning this hymn, 13:03 we've also sung it in every independent baptistic church in Oz which I've attended in many decades, first tune. I love the cry to CROWN HIM LORD OF ALL. Amen help us thus to do. And praise God for faithful servants.

[@olivierfonte2999]

Knew this song since a child at church.... Glad you have picked up this song......Thanks for sharing about the history behind!!!

[@brynmiller4232]

I love this hymn which in my experience is sung in both Presbyterian and some Lutheran churches. The most interesting image to me is seeing us(Christ's church and bride ) literally as the crown of Jesus placed upon our Saviors;s head while crowning HIm literally Lord of All. The history is very interesting as is hearing both the American and UK version of the hymn.

[@naomichristian1099]

"and crown Him Lord of all"

[@smoothsailingmp]

Beautiful 😊

[@scottjohnson921]

Love these hymns and your channel

[@MsVbecker]

Absolutely beautiful hymn, both tunes are special in its own way!

[@melisaeslinger6247]

It is one of the hymns on a CD I have by Discovery House Publishers (Our Daily Bread Ministries). The CD is named Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus (that hymn is on the CD also).

[@cordeliamarieclairecastori3928]

I love this song. On the revamped tune, I sing the 1st soprano part.

[@jkamritt8875]

I grow up in the Moravian church, and we always sing it I love it

[@elinorsmalberger8883]

Grew up in Methodist Church in Claremont (Cape Town) later moving across to the Presbyterian Church in Kenilworth (Cape Town) where at both we sang this glorious hymn.

[@lorrainevanlelyveld8065]

Grew up in the Methodist church Sea Point Capetown. Moved to a few different places in South Africa and have lived in Port Elizabeth for over 40yrs. God bless as you walk in His Grace and Mercy

[@cathydemarest3572]

As a child in a Baptist church.

[@angelaasher5154]

You have a beautiful voice. God Bless you.

[@olivierfonte2999]

Thanks!

[@glenturrell4485]

The tune we used was "Diadem". Big and powerful!

[@michelejay5218]

WRT "Wormwood and gall", Psalm 69:21: "gall for my meat and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink'. Also, Matthew 27:33-34 "They gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink". Wormwood is bitter, also.

[@revelation2and3]

❤

[@mrnoedahl]

This was one of my favorite hymns. Still love to sing it. Can you do one on “Power in the Blood”?

[@LukePowellMinistries]

Done it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d52cYWN4bs6Ifq8

[@mrnoedahl]

@@LukePowellMinistries Thanks

[@sunkissedprincess]

Becoming slightly more cultured with the British versions. Good job as usual. Do you like jazz per chance?

[@margarethennessey2583]

It’s sung in the Anglican traditional church today but the Cintemporary church today it isn’t. Would be rare

[@geraldwalker7609]

You learned the entire hymn, but for those of us who knew it, must of us probably learned half of the entire hymn.

[@margarethennessey2583]

Its sung in the Anglican traditional church today but the Cintemporary church today it isnt

[@paulafields3711]

A little different than what I grew up with,but still nice.

[@glenturrell4485]

We sang it to a different tune than the one you sang.

Hakeem Jeffries for our next president 🙏

[@flxplant2180]

Why a near lifelong anti-semite?? Also an anti-Christian, pro abortion, LGBTQ…/transgender advocate. Not exactly a biblical choice for president or public office in this Bible believing Christian’s view.
