b'One of my favorite hymns, this was written in 1779. When first released, the author was anonymous. It later came to be credited to Rev. Edward Perronet. Listen to the show for the rest of the story.

\\n \\tAll hail the pow?r of Jesus? Name!
\\nLet angels prostrate fall;
\\nBring forth the royal diadem,
\\nAnd crown Him Lord of all;
\\nBring forth the royal diadem,
\\nAnd crown Him Lord of all.
\\n \\t* Let highborn seraphs tune the lyre,
\\nAnd as they tune it, fall
\\nBefore His face Who tunes their choir,
\\nAnd crown Him Lord of all;
\\nBefore His face Who tunes their choir,
\\nAnd crown Him Lord of all.
\\n \\t* Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God,
\\nWho from His altar call;
\\nExtol the Stem of Jesse?s Rod,
\\nAnd crown Him Lord of all;
\\nExtol the Stem of Jesse?s Rod,
\\nAnd crown Him Lord of all.
\\n \\t* Ye seed of Israel?s chosen race,
\\nYe ransomed from the fall,
\\nHail Him Who saves you by His grace,
\\nAnd crown Him Lord of all;
\\nHail Him Who saves you by His grace,
\\nAnd crown Him Lord of all.
\\n \\t* Let every tribe and every tongue
\\nBefore Him prostrate fall,
\\nAnd shout in universal song
\\nThe crowned Lord of all;
\\nAnd shout in universal song
\\nThe crowned Lord of all.
