Words

All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name!Let angels prostrate fall;Bring forth the royal diadem,And crown him Lord of all.Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,Ye ransomed from the fall,Hail Him who saves you by his grace,And crown him, and crown him,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 forgetThe wormwood and the gall,Go, spread your trophies at his feet,And crown him Lord of all.Let ev'ry kindred, ev'ry tribe,On this terrestrial ball,To him all majesty ascribe,And crown him, and crown him,And crown him Lord of all;To him all majesty ascribe,And crown him Lord of all.

O that with yonder sacred throngWe at his feet may fall!We'll join the everlasting song,And crown him Lord of all.Him Lord of lords, and King of kings,Let ev'ry nation call;From heav'n to earth the chorus rings,Yea, crown him, yea, crown him,Yea, crown him Lord of all;From heav'n to earth the chorus rings,Yea, crown him Lord of all.
