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 ]
