Millennial Harp 81
All hail the power of Jesus' name
C.M.
1All hail the power of Jesus' name, Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, To crown him Lord of all.
2Let high-born seraphs tune the lyre, And, as they tune it, fall Before his face who tunes their choir, And crown him Lord of all.
3Crown him, ye morning stars of light, He fixed this floating ball; Now hail the strength of Israel's might, And crown him Lord of all.
4Crown him, ye martyrs of your God, Who from his altar call;
