Talk:All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

The text given here is not authentic to the original

Edward Perronet's original. An additional verse, omitted in some hymnals, was added by John Rippon - something about a sacred throng. The tune CORONATION by Oliver Holden was written especially for this text. Perronet wrote "All hail the power of Jesus' name" while he served as a missionary in India, the hymn first appearing in the November, 1779 issue of Gospel Magazine.

This historical information and the original text (below) should preclude the amended material currently displayed in this article.

1
All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ name!
  Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,

(ref.)
And crown Him Lord of all!

2
Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God
  Who from His altar call;
Extol the Stem of Jesse’s rod,

3
Hail Him, ye heirs of David’s line
  Whom David Lord did call;
The God incarnate. Man Divine;

4
Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
  Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,

5
Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget
  The wormwood and the gall,
Go, spread your trophies at His feet.

6
Let every kindred, every tribe,
  On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
