1All hail the pow'r of Je-sus' name! Let an-gels pros-trate fall;
Bring forth the roy-al di-a-dem, And crown Him Lord of all.

2Crown Him, ye morn-ing stars of light, Who fixed this float-ing ball;
Now hail the strength of Is-rael's might, And crown Him Lord of all.

3Crown Him, ye mar-tyrs of your God, Who from His al-tar call;
Ex-tol the Stem of Jes-se's rod, And crown Him Lord of all.

4Let ev-'ry tribe and ev-'ry tongue Be-fore Him pros-trate fall,
And shout in u-ni-ver-sal song, The crown-ed Lord of all.
