Ye seed of Israel’ s chosen race, ye ransomed from the fall, Hail Him Who saves you by His grace, and crown Him Lord of all. Hail Him Who saves you by His grace, and crown Him Lord of all.

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. Go spread your trophies at His feet, and crown Him Lord of all.

Let highborn seraphs tune the lyre, and as they tune it, fall Before His face Who tunes their choir, and crown Him Lord of all. Before His face Who tunes their choir, and crown Him Lord of all.

Hail Him, ye heirs of David’ s line, Whom David Lord did call, The God incarnate, Man divine, and crown Him Lord of all, The God incarnate, Man divine, and crown Him Lord of all.

Let every tribe and every tongue before Him prostrate fall And shout in universal song the crownèd Lord of all. And shout in universal song the crownèd Lord of all.
Reviewing Great Christian Hymns
Reverend E. P. Scott was a missionary, in India during the 1800s. Prompted by the Holy Spirit, he set out alone to visit a remote village, determined to share the Gospel with a savage tribe. A large group of warriors surrounded him, each one pointing a spear towards his heart. Expecting to die, he decided to use his last breaths to glorify God. He closed his eyes, and began to play his violin and sing All Hail the Power of Jesus Name, in the native language of the warriors. Opening his eyes, he saw those mighty warriors, with tears in their eyes, every spear lowered. Scott spent much time with this tribe and the remainder of his life, sharing the love of Jesus. All Hail the Power of Jesus Name has been hailed as the“ National Anthem of Christendom.” It was written in 1779 by Rev. Edward Perronet( 1726-1792) The music was composed by Oliver Holden( 1765-1844). The hymn has been translated into almost every existing language. [ 1 ]
