"All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," a hymn so universally beloved it's often called "The National Anthem of Christendom." Join us as we trace the remarkable journey of Edward Perronet, born in 1726 to a French Huguenot pastor and associate of the Wesley brothers. Perronet's life exemplified devotion to the King he proclaimed.

We explore this hymn's global impact through moving stories it has influenced, and the musical settings that have carried these words through centuries. Verse by verse, we unpack the theological richness of this hymn culminating in the vision of eternity where every nation, tribe, and tongue will sing a new song to our Savior and "crown Him Lord of all."

At its heart, this hymn offers us profound liberation—the joy of finally laying down the crowns we were never meant to wear, surrendering what we've tried to control since the Garden. In a culture obsessed with self-glory, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" stands as a countercultural anthem and proclaims that the only true and rightful King is Jesus.

Ready to experience this majestic hymn with fresh ears and a renewed heart? Listen now and join the everlasting song.

Having finished the work his father gave him to accomplish, god's own son has ascended to the throne Not a throne on earth, but the throne of heaven. The father himself has crowned him king of all the universe. King of all the universe, he has called forth the royal diadem and crowned him king of every kindred, every tribe, every nation. David Mathis, this is the Bright Forever, where each week, we rediscover the power and richness found in some of the greatest hymns of the faith. My name is Andy Peavyhouse and I am your host on this, our incredible journey through hymnody. Welcome back, everybody. It is great to have you back with us again this week. Some great news. I don't know if you saw it online. We posted it on Facebook and a couple other places. I don't know how many of it online. We posted it on Facebook and a couple other places. I don't know how many of you listen on Good Pods, but if you do, thank you so much because we have been ranked the number one worship podcast on Good Pods. So if you haven't listened on Good Pods or you want to start listening on Good Pods, keep it up. It is amazing. We were about a year, a year and a half ago. We were number six or number eight or something like that, and now we are the number one worship podcast on Good Pods. So thank you so much for that. Thank you for listening, thank you to those who listen on Good Pods. It's really exciting to hear that we're growing and that we're getting more listeners and people are listening to it from all sorts of different places. As a matter of fact, this last episode we've had three people in Asia, two people in Europe and one person in Africa who has listened to the podcast, and we have had downloads from every single continent, and it is absolutely amazing to see God using this podcast in ways I never thought possible. So thank you for listening and, man, just keep it up. It's awesome, thank you. In our last episode, we rested with the tender, with the tender aching beauty of O Love that Will Not Let Us Go. It was a hymn born in sorrow, yet bursting with trust, a reminder that, even in the quiet comfort of God's love to its majestic authority, the quote from the beginning beautifully sets up the grandeur and authority found in our hymn for this week. Having finished the work his father gave him to accomplish, god's own son has ascended to the throne, not a throne on earth, but the throne of heaven. The father himself has crowned him king of all the universe. He has called forth the royal diadem and crowned him king of every kindred, every tribe, every nation, by focusing on Christ's finished work, his ascension and sovereign rule. This quote by David Mathis invites us to enter into this hymn as a proclamation of the risen reigning king.

Andy Peavyhouse

That's the kind of majesty we're stepping into this week as we look at all hail, the power of Jesus name. Because when the crown is placed on Christ's head, not symbolically but truly and eternally, there's only one right response from heaven and earth alike worship. And this week we're diving into one of the boldest declarations of that worship in all of hymnody. It's a hymn of coronation, conviction and unceasing joy. We stand not at the bedside of sorrow, but in the throne room of heaven. This song shows us the love that doesn't just hold on to us, but that rules and reigns in authority. It rules the nations, commands the angels and wears the crown of victory. So just as we learned to yield our hearts and last week reminded us that we are loved in our weakness, this week we find the power behind the love that will not let us go and we are called to lift up our eyes and declare Jesus is King, crowned, exalted and worthy of all of our praise. But before we get started, don't forget to click subscribe and follow us at the Bright Forever so you never miss an episode. Now come with me as we trace the deep roots through history, theology and with the swelling chorus of voices across centuries and continents joined in exalting the King of Kings, known as the National Anthem of Christendom. This is no mere song, but a crown of praise set to music.

Andy Peavyhouse

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. Crown Him, lord of all. Crown Him, lord of all. Crown Him, ye chosen seed of Israel. Rais, 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. Crown Him, lord of all. Crown Him, lord of all. Crown Him, lord of all. Let every kindred, every tribe on this terrestrial ball. To Him, o Majesty, ascribe and crown Him, lord of all. To Him all majesty, a scream and crown Him, lord of all. Crown Him, lord of all. Crown Him, lord of all. Crown Him, lord of all. Crown Him, lord of all. Oh that with yonder sacred throne, 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. Yeah, yeah, lord of all. Round him, lord of all, that was All Hail the Power of Jesus Name.

Andy Peavyhouse

Edward Perrinet was born in England in 1726 and grew up surrounded by strong spiritual influences. His father was a French Huguenot pastor and was a close associate with John and Charles Wesley. At an early age, young Edward was exposed to the fervor of the growing Methodist movement. Though his family expected him to remain within the Church of England, edward's heart was drawn toward the Wesleyan revival, and he eventually followed in the Wesley's footsteps and became a Methodist preacher, and later he became the pastor of an independent chapel in Canterbury. Though quiet by temperament, perrinet had strong convictions about Christ's supremacy. He devoted his entire life to the proclamation of the gospel, remaining faithful to the very end. His final words captured his lifelong passion of Christ. His final words captured his lifelong passion of Christ. On his deathbed he said glory to God in the height of his divinity, glory to God in the depth of his humanity. Glory to God in his all sufficiency into his hands. I commend my spirit.

Andy Peavyhouse

There are a lot of stories out there about Peroné as a preacher, but there was one in particular that I found interesting and kind of funny. It's probably the most well-known of all of the stories about him. One of the most memorable moments in Peroné's ministry occurred during a visit to John Wesley's congregation. Wesley was eager for Peronet to preach, urged him to take the pulpit, but Peronet declined, likely out of humility and probably deep respect for the man who was his mentor going why would you want me to preach when you're here? This makes no sense. You're the better preacher. Having grown up under Wesley's guidance, he didn't see himself as worthy of addressing the congregation in that way. The two men remained at an impasse until Sunday morning when Wesley, determined to settle the matter, stood before the congregation and announced now we will hear a message from Minister Edward. Caught off guard, but quick-witted Perrinet walked up to the pulpit and declared I will now deliver the greatest sermon ever preached on earth. He then opened his Bible and read aloud the Sermon on the Mount in its entirety, thanked the congregation and quietly sat back down. I love that. It was a bold move, but also a beautiful way of reminding those in attendance that the greatest words he could speak were those of Jesus himself, that the greatest words he could speak were those of Jesus himself.

Andy Peavyhouse

It wasn't until later in his life that Perrinet began to write hymns and other poetry. He preferred to remain anonymous in much of his writing, publishing his works in small collections without attaching his name. Of those collections, only one is widely remembered today occasional verses, moral and sacred. What sets this volume apart is its inclusion of the hymn that would become Peronet's most enduring legacy All hail the power of Jesus' name. The hymn didn't rise to fame through promotion or printing. It really kind of spread naturally, crossing borders, crossing denominational lines and, as I said earlier, it is sometimes referred to as the national anthem of Christendom, and with that title come a host of remarkable stories. One tells of a woman nearing death who repeatedly whispered the word bring. She kept saying bring, bring. Those around her were confused, trying to figure out what she needed them to bring her, but suddenly, with her last breath, she sang the royal diadem and crown him Lord of all.

Andy Peavyhouse

And passed into glory. Another powerful account centers on missionary EP Scott, who set out to reach an isolated tribe in India. As he approached the people, he was surrounded by warriors with spears raised. In a moment of desperation, scott pulled out his violin and began to sing. The hymn he chose was All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name. When he reached the line, let every kindred, every tribe, the warriors slowly lowered their weapons and welcomed him in. Scott would go on to live among them and share the gospel. For many years.

Andy Peavyhouse

Stories like these continue to follow this hymn, a testament to its enduring strength and the power of its words. As long as believers gather in worship, lifting their voices in awe and surrender, all hail the power of Jesus' name will remain on their lips both in this life and in the one to come. The hymn was first published in the Gospel Magazine in 1779. If you remember, the Gospel Magazine is a publication put out by AM Toplety, who was the writer of Rock of Ages. So AM Toplety and Gospel Magazine in 1779 printed the first copies of All Hail the Power of Jesus Name, but it wasn't called All Hail the Power of Jesus Name. It was titled On the Resurrection the Lord is King.

Andy Peavyhouse

We don't know exactly what inspired Periné to write this triumphant hymn, but I'd like to think it must have had at least partially been inspired by Philippians 2. Beginning in verse 9, it says 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 shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. From pulpits in England to deathbeds in tribal villages, this hymn has traveled far. But what is it about? All Hail, the Power of Jesus' Name that makes it so enduring?

Andy Peavyhouse

One of the remarkable things about All Hail, the Power of Jesus' Name is that it's so beloved. It gave rise to at least three dominant musical settings, all three of which are still sung today across denominations and continents. Today we're going to look at two of the most popular musical settings coronation and diadem. The first is what I would call a majestic march or, if you will, a coronation march. It's also the most familiar tune in American hymnals. The tune is entitled Coronation and it was composed by Oliver Holden, a Massachusetts carpenter and self-taught musician, in 1793. It's stately, confident and almost regal in its progression, appropriate for a hymn that calls us to crown Christ as king. It gives worshipers space to sing with dignity and strength.

Andy Peavyhouse

Bring forth the royal diadem.

Andy Peavyhouse

It gives you that space to really belt it out. It's a musical procession marching upward to the throne room of God. In contrast, the other tune entitled Diadem, composed by James Eller in 1838, is much more choral and exuberant.

Andy Peavyhouse

It features a majestic refrain that repeats the phrase and crown him, crown him, crown him, crown him and crown him Lord of all, Lord of all.

Andy Peavyhouse

It's layered and soaring. Often sung with multiple parts, it feels like a royal celebration that's bursting open, less processional and more doxological in tone. Let's sing worshipfully and praise the Lord who is being crowned. Both tunes carry the same message, but they offer very different emotional qualities. Coronation calls us to bow with reverence as we march majestically towards the throne, and diadem lifts us to shout with joy a triumphant praise. One is the march into the throne room, and the other is the song that erupts once you're already there.

Andy Peavyhouse

I had a listener ask to do All Hail the Power of Jesus Name, and when they did, they sent me a file of what I'm assuming is their church singing it, and they thought it was a really cool version of it, and so they sent it to me. I don't know if the arrangement is copyrighted or anything like that, but they sent it and asked me to play it. I'm assuming that, since you sent it to me, that I have permission to play it too. If that's not the case, let me know. But this is the diadem version, and I love the diadem version with a choir. It's just a choral piece. It sounds so amazing with a choir, and so I wanted you to hear it. And so this is All Hail the Power of Jesus Name diadem. Tune with whoever's church. This is, I hope you hear, the amazing power that singing this version of All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name has with a choir. It is absolutely amazing, breathtaking. Enjoy.

Andy Peavyhouse

. Jesus exalted, jesus crowned and Jesus worshiped by all of creation. Jesus worshiped by all of creation. All hail the power of Jesus' name. Let angels prostrate fall, bring forth the royal diadem and crown him Lord of all. The opening verse launches us straight into the throne room of heaven. It's a cosmic call to worship, beginning not with humanity but with the angels, the highest created beings falling prostrate before Jesus. Philippians remind us God has exalted Jesus and at the very name of Jesus every knee will bow in heaven, on earth and under the earth the angels will bow. Revelation four reminds us that the four living creatures and the 24 elders fall down and cast their crowns before the throne.

Andy Peavyhouse

Hebrews 1, verse 6,. Let all God's angels worship him. The royal diadem isn't ours to give, it's his by right. The verse opens with thunderous praise, reminding us that worship with awe. Even the angels bow and fall prostrate before him. 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.

Andy Peavyhouse

Now the hymn turns to the redeemed God's covenant people. The chosen seed reminds us of Ephesians 1, 3-4. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and blameless before him. And then it says he's ransomed us from the fall, which points to Christ's redemptive work Ephesians 1, 7 through 10. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to what the riches of his grace. Hail him who saves you by his grace, grace that he lavishes on us. It's grace, not merit, it's the grounding of our worship. Grace is our foundation. Peter reminds us in 1 Peter 2.9 that you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him, who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people. Once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Andy Peavyhouse

Verse two draws the redeemed Jews and Gentiles into the heavenly chorus. If verse one calls angels to fall before Jesus in awe of his divine majesty, verse two calls the redeemed to worship not only for who he is, but for what he's done. We worship not less than the angels, but more personally. We worship Christ, because his majesty has met us in mercy and his kingship has rescued us from ruin. It's a coronation anthem for every believer who knows what it means to be rescued.

Andy Peavyhouse

This next verse is not always found in every version that I've seen. It's usually not sung in coronation. It's always sung in either diadem or some other tune. Coronation it's always sung in either diadem or some other tune. But I didn't want to gloss over this because I love this verse.

Andy Peavyhouse

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. So we've heard the call to the redeemed, to those ransomed by grace, and this is a reminder to us of the cost. Sinners, ne'er forget the wormwood and the gall. Go, spread your trophies at his feet. It's nothing I can do. It's what he's done for me. This verse is about the worship that comes not just from knowing you're saved, but never forgetting what it took. That's what we find in this verse, a verse for the sinner who has been forgiven and who can still taste the bitterness of what Christ endured. Still taste the bitterness of what Christ endured. This verse speaks directly to the redeemed sinner.

Andy Peavyhouse

Lamentations 3, 19 through 22,. Remember my affliction and my wonderings, the wormwood and the gall. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. 1 Corinthians 1.31,. Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord. It's nothing I've done. Let me lay my trophies down. It's all about what he has done for me. Wormwood and gall remind us of the bitterness of Christ's suffering, but not just physically but spiritually, but spiritually bearing the full weight of sin and judgment. And yet it is this very memory that fuels our love for God.

Andy Peavyhouse

The sinner who remembers the cross doesn't just mourn it, they're moved to worship. Go, spread your trophies at his feet. Whatever we consider our success, our strength, our trophies, we are invited to lay them down. It reminds me of the old, rugged cross. My trophies, at last, I lay down that's exactly what this hymn is talking about All the things that we think are so great about us. We lay them all down at the foot of the cross. Why? Because the greatest victory wasn't won by us, it was won by Jesus. The cross is the only true trophy. All other ones we lay at his feet.

Andy Peavyhouse

I think this verse speaks to anyone who's been to the bottom and been lifted back up by grace. The crown isn't placed on Christ's head by the self-righteous, but by those who can never forget the blood that bought them. And once our own hearts are humbled, once our trophies have been laid at his feet, the song doesn't stop there. It doesn't stop with us, it widens even more because the king we crown is not just the Lord of our redemption, he is the Lord of all the nations. And so the next verse invites every tribe and language and kindred to join the anthem. Let every kindred, every tribe on this terrestrial ball to him all majesty ascribe and crown him Lord of all. This verse expands the scope to global worship. Every race, every nation, every tribe, every tongue is called to join the song. It's a verse of a mission and fulfillment, echoing the universal reign of Christ and the call to proclaim him to the ends of the earth. And the call to proclaim him to the ends of the earth.

Andy Peavyhouse

In Revelation 5, 9, the four living creatures and the 24 elders sing a new song. And they sing what? What song do they sing? They fall down, they lay their crowns before him and they sing a new song. Worthy are you to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slain and by your blood you ransomed people for God, from every tribe and language, and people and nation. In Psalm 86, 9 and 10, it says all the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, o Lord, and shall glorify your name, for you are great and do wondrous things. You alone are God, and Jesus calls us 28,. To go, therefore, and make disciples of our good friends and the people closest to us. No, not just there. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. This is a great commission verse.

Andy Peavyhouse

Our worship isn't complete until it spills outward, drawing in every tribe and tongue. The kingdom of God is not just local, it's global. What Christ has done on the cross is for everybody, not just Americans, not just the people I like, not just my good friends, it's for everyone. We have to go out and evangelize. We have to tell people about this king that has come and what he has done. Let every kindred, every tribe on this terrestrial ball to him all majesty ascribe and crown him Lord of all. Oh that with yonder sacred throng we at his feet may fall. Now let me take a quick moment for a public service announcement For all the worship leaders out there, especially those of us who remember the glory days of PowerPoint in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Andy Peavyhouse

So I was leading worship one Sunday. Things were going very well, the congregation was engaged and we moved into all hail the power of Jesus name and I was singing with full conviction. Oh that with yonder sacred throng, we at his feet may fall. Except I noticed people in the congregation started to chuckle and then laugh and then completely lose it. And I'm going. What in the world is happening? I didn't understand what was going on until the band and I exited the stage. I exited the stage and apparently somebody I don't know, probably the worship leader guy, who shall remain nameless myself forgot to proofread the lyric slides. And so while I was singing, oh that With Yonder Sacred Throng, it read oh that With Yonder Sacred Thong. Yeah, the word on screen was sacred thong. Let me just say you kind of lose control of the moment at that point. So here's your public service announcement no matter how powerful the hymn, proofread your lyrics, especially if you're using good old PowerPoint. And now back to our regularly scheduled program. Oh that with yonder sacred throng, we at his feet may fall, we'll join the everlasting song and crown him Lord of all.

Andy Peavyhouse

This final verse looks forward to eternity, where the redeemed from every age gather in the presence of Christ.

Andy Peavyhouse

It's a vision of heaven, a future hope anchored in present worship.

Andy Peavyhouse

Revelation 7, 9-10 says this After this I looked and behold a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the lamb, and peoples and languages standing before the throne and before the lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands and crying out with a loud voice salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the lamb, and all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever.

Andy Peavyhouse

Amen, god, forever and ever. Amen. Isaiah 25, 8 and 9 says he will swallow up death forever and the Lord, god, will wipe away tears from all faces and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken. It will be said on that day behold, this is our God. We have waited for him that he might save us. This is our Lord.

Andy Peavyhouse

We have waited for him. Let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation. This is the song that never ends, because it's about the king who never ceases to reign. We look forward to not just seeing Jesus, but falling at his feet in eternal praise and worship and joy for what he has done for us.

Andy Peavyhouse

The crown is not just a symbol of power. It's our ultimate act of surrender and delight. This hymn invites us to give Jesus the royal crown, not because we make him Lord, but because he already is. I see it like this when we sing crown him Lord of all, at the end of every verse, we're offering up the crown. That is our power, our pride, our position. It's an act of humility and surrender, but it's not begrudging, it's not loss. It's our delight.

Andy Peavyhouse

Have thine own way taught us to let go, to yield ourselves as clay in the potter's hands. It's a surrender of the will, a quiet yes to God shaping us even when it hurts. It's where this delight begins, even if it doesn't feel like that yet. Where this delight begins, even if it doesn't feel like that yet. Last week, o Love that Will Not Let Me Go taught us to trust that the one we surrender to will not let us go. It's the surrender of suffering, whether it be our own blindness or pain or unanswered questions. We surrender it into the hands of love itself and let him hold us fast. And here, in all hail the power, see the king and we, at his feet, fall down, crown in hand, not out of obligation but out of overflowing joy, we'll join the everlasting song and crown him Lord of all. Our crown is not just laid down because we must. It's laid down because we want to, because he's worthy and our hearts are glad to give it. This isn't a reluctant religious act, this is wholehearted worship. And again, when we lay it down, it's not loss, it's delight. But why? Why is it a delight? Because we finally get to lay down what we were never meant to carry.

Andy Peavyhouse

Go back to the garden. Before we ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, we only knew good. Day after day, during creation, god looked at what he made and he declared it is good. When he made humanity, it is very good. That was our reality. We walked in goodness, in relationship, in trust. But when we ate from that tree, everything changed. We gained the knowledge of good and evil, something we were never meant to carry. That's where pride entered. That's when we started thinking we could do things better than God. That's when we took the crown and put it on our own head that our plans mattered more. Our thoughts, our ways, what we wanted became the most important, that we were the ones in charge and we fell. But God, rich in mercy, did not leave us there, in Christ Jesus.

Andy Peavyhouse

Through the cross, he began the work of restoring us. And at the end of it all, what are we given the privilege to do? Take off the crown, the crown of our lives, our pride, our control, and lay it at the feet of the one who alone deserves to wear it. That's the moment we finally realize what we were truly meant for worship All hail the power of Jesus' name.

Andy Peavyhouse

That was All Hail the Power of Jesus Name, performed by Nathan Drake of Reawaken Hymns. It's from the album the Trinity Acoustic Sessions Volume 1, which contained acoustic recordings of the arrangements from the Trinity Project albums Hymns of the Father, Hymns of the Son and Hymns of the Spirit. The more modern version with full band is found on the album Hymns of the Son. Lyric videos, chord charts and sheet music are all available through the links in the show. In a culture that celebrates self-glory and personal power, all Hail the Power of Jesus' Name stands as a counter-cultural anthem. It proclaims that the only rightful king is Jesus and it reminds the church that our loyalty is not to a flag or to a personality or to a platform, but to the one who is crowned King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

And because of that resurrection, because of his defeat of death, we have eternal life through him, and he is crowned Lord of all. God, help us to be the evangelists that we need to be.
