    Story Behind the Song
    Edward Perronet, who wrote the marvelous praise hymn, was not one to put up with certain church issues. He was a minister in the Anglican church for some time, but, after becoming fed up with what he felt was the churchs nonsense, he became a Methodist, joining up with the Wesleys. As a Methodist he now faced persecution and, as John Wesley recorded, Edward Perronet was thrown down and rolled in mud and mire.

    However, Perronet eventually became angered at the Methodists over the issue of who could administer that sacraments. He then joined a group called the Connexion but later broke from them as well. this great song was written while he was a minister in an independent church in Canterbury. In spite of the fact that he broke from so many Christian denominations, this hymn points to a time when all believers will join together in on celestial chorus.

    It contains a majestic theme, so it was my intention to create an instrumental arrangement that did it justice. So, I started it with a solid, deep piano, resonate double bass setting the stage for a deep cello to carry the melody. A sound chorus of strings breaks in to accompany the melodic flute in the second stanza. Eventually a chorus of instruments gather together to dramatically declare the final climax. We pray that as you listen to this outstanding praise hymn that God will impress upon you the wonders of His glory as you fall to your knees in worship and adoration of our Royal King.

    Lyrics
    All Hail the power of Jesus Name

    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 Israels 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 evry kindred, evry 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!
    Well join the everlasting song;
    And crown Him Lord of all;
    Well join the everlasting song,
    And crown Him Lord of all!
