All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

Jonathan Anderson • July 13, 2025

“All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” is a hymn that lifts up the name of Jesus with royal honor. It’s not quiet or reserved — it’s triumphant. From the very first line, it calls on every heart and every nation to join together and praise the King of Kings. This hymn isn’t just sung — it’s proclaimed.

The Story Behind the Hymn

The lyrics were written in 1779 by Edward Perronet, the son of a minister in the Church of England. Though from a quiet background, Perronet had a deep passion for Christ’s lordship and wanted to write something that honored the power of His name. His hymn was first published in a gospel magazine by the famous evangelist John Rippon and quickly became one of the most cherished hymns in English-speaking churches.


Later, different tunes were paired with the words — but the most popular today is Coronation, composed by Oliver Holden in the late 1700s. It’s a bold and regal melody that perfectly matches the tone of the lyrics. Whether sung in a small church or played by a full choir and orchestra, the message is the same: Jesus is worthy of every crown.


What Makes It Powerful

This hymn is all about exalting Jesus — not just as Savior, but as King. It calls angels, saints, and all creation to fall before Him. There’s no hesitation, no question — just confident worship.


A verse that mirrors this exaltation is Philippians 2:9–10 (NIV):

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth...

That’s exactly what this hymn declares. Whether now or someday soon, every knee will bow — and this hymn invites us to do it gladly, here and now.


My Violin Cover

When I arranged “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” for violin, I kept its regal tone front and center. The melody rises with strength and purpose, and I played it with clarity and boldness to reflect that call to worship.


With Violin Hymns, I try to let the message of each song guide the arrangement. For this hymn, the message is clear: crown Him Lord of all. So I let each note echo that truth with conviction.



Listen and Reflect

The video is below. As you listen, let the music remind you of who Jesus truly is — not just a comforter or teacher, but King. This isn’t just a hymn — it’s a declaration: All hail the power of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall. Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all.

Lyrics


All hail the power of Jesus’ Name!

Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown Him Lord of all.

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown Him Lord of all.


Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,

Ye ransomed from the fall,

Hail Him who saves you by His grace,

And crown Him Lord of all.

Hail Him who saves you by His grace,

And crown Him Lord of all.


Let every kindred, every tribe

On this terrestrial ball,

To Him all majesty ascribe,

And crown Him Lord of all.

To Him all majesty ascribe,

And crown Him Lord of all.


O that with yonder sacred throng

We at His feet may fall!

We’ll join the everlasting song,

And crown Him Lord of all.

We’ll join the everlasting song,

And crown Him Lord of all.
