Coronation 63

Tune: Oliver Holden, 1793
Lyrics: Edward Perronet (1st & 2nd Verse), 1779-80; John Rippon (3rd Verse), 1787
Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ name,
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.

Let ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
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.
