All hail the power of Jesus' name,
Let angels prostrate fall,
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him, crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,
And crown Him Lord of all!

Ye saints redeemed of Adam's race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Ye ransomed from the fall;
Hail Him who saved you by His grace,
And crown him, crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,
And crown Him Lord of all!

Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall,
The wormwood and the gall;
Go spread your trophies at His feet,
And crown him, crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,
And crown Him Lord of all!

Oh that with yonder sacred throng
We at his feet may fall,
We at his feet may fall;
Join in the everlasting song,
And crown him, crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,
And crown Him Lord of all!

And crown Him Lord of all,
And crown Him Lord of all,
And crown Him Lord of all,
And crown Him Lord of all.

Notes:
Village Carols is an ongoing project to preserve and promote local carol traditions, and to make them available in all forms - audio recordings, musical notation, historical context, etc. I am indebted to Ian Russell for his work in this area and for his permission to publish the notation given here. For details of current publications, see http://www.sgpublishing.co.uk/gm/vc/vcpubs.html

I have omitted the Symphony section and (for the moment) the coda. For these, please consult Ian's publication.
