All hail the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall

1All hail the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all.
2Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
A remnant, weak and small,
Hail him who saves you by his grace,
And crown him Lord of all.
3Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall;
Go, spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown him Lord of all.
4Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown him Lord of all.
5O that, with yonder sacred throng,
We at his feet may fall!
We'll join the everlasting song,
And crown him Lord of all.
