All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name NLPHB 11

I have looked at this text in Gather 3rd ed, where it was set to DIADEM, and OCP’s Guitar Accompaniment Book where it was set to CORONATION.

NLPHB sets it to MILES LANE by Wiliam Shrubsole, which was it’s original setting. The text was by Edward Perronet and was altered by J. Rippon. Hymnary has a deeper dive than usual into its origins. I have certainly found many variants in the text and include those from NLPHB below, where the archiac language has been removed for a change.

It is a hymn for Christ the King. This setting has a dramatic build up for the assembly to blast out.

I should have got the simplified chords from TIS but it looks like I overcomplicated things with too many chords in my backing:


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

2 Crown Him, you martyrs of our God,
Who from His altar call;
Praise him whoe way of love you trod,
And crown him, crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all.

3 Hail him you heirs of David’s line,
Whom David Lord did call;
The God incarnate, man divine,
And crown him, crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all.

4 You seed of Israel’s chosen race,
You ransomed of the fall,
Hail him Who saves you by His grace,
And crown him, crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all.

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

6 Let ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tribe,
Before him prostrate fall,
And shout in universal song,
And crown him, crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all.
