1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget the wormwood and the gall, go spread your trophies at his feet, and crown him Lord of all. go spread your trophies at his feet, and crown him Lord of all.

4. 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.

5. Crown him, ye martyrs of your God, who from his altar call; extol the Stem of Jesse's Rod, and crown him Lord of all. extol the Stem of Jesse's Rod, and crown him Lord of all.

6. 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.

Devotional based on the hymn 'All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name'

Scripture Reference:
"Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow... and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Philippians 2:9–11 (ESV)

Opening Reflection:
From the very first line, “All hail the power of Jesus’ name,” this hymn invites us into a posture of worship and awe. It’s not a passive suggestion—it’s a royal summons. The name of Jesus isn't just a word—it's a declaration of His kingship, His victory, and His unmatched authority.

The lyrics echo the heart of Philippians 2: that there is no name higher, no authority greater. Jesus, who humbled Himself even to the point of death on a cross, is now exalted above all. And this hymn calls every heart—angels, redeemed sinners, and nations alike—to respond in one unified chorus: “Crown Him Lord of all!”

But this isn’t just future prophecy—it’s a present invitation. Today, in the middle of whatever you’re walking through, Jesus is still Lord. Over every fear, every unknown, every triumph and every trial. To “hail” His power is to trust His power. To “crown Him” is to surrender our own thrones and let Him reign in our decisions, our relationships, our hearts.

Personal Application
Ask yourself:

In what areas of my life have I crowned myself instead of Jesus?
What does it look like today for me to “crown Him Lord of all”?

Let this hymn not only be a song we sing on Sunday, but a lifestyle we live daily. Let every thought, word, and act be one more jewel in the crown we lay at His feet.

Prayer:
Jesus, Your name is powerful, beautiful, and above all others. I confess the places in my heart where I’ve held onto control. Today, I choose to bow before You, to hail the power of Your name, and to crown You Lord of all. Reign in me, now and forever. Amen.
