All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

"All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" is one of those majestic hymns that immediately lifts the spirit of a congregation. Set to Oliver Holden’s stirring "Coronation" tune, it is a bold, triumphant call to worship. When the choir strikes up the opening notes, you can almost see the heavenly courts gathering to lay down their crowns. It is a song of absolute victory, declaring Christ’s kingship over every tribe, tongue, and nation.

In our parishes, this piece is a natural fit for the Feast of Christ the King, Easter Sunday, or any grand celebration where we need a powerful recessional to send the people forth. The repetition in the final lines of each verse—insisting that we "crown him Lord of all"—gives the harmony parts a chance to swell and build momentum. It is a joy to sing, demanding strong, confident voices from the soprano line all the way down to the basses, uniting the whole church in a single, everlasting song of praise.
