All hail the power of Jesus' Name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all.

Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall,
Go, spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown him Lord of all.

O that with yonder sacred throng
We at his feet may fall,
Join in the everlasting song,
And crown him Lord of all.
