Hymn 339 - All Hail the Power of Jesus Name

The hymn, All Hail the Power of Jesus Name, has been called "the most inspiring and triumphant hymn in the English language" and "the National Anthem of Christianity." It was written by Edward Perronet in 1779 in England.

The hymn highlights the praise and honor that Jesus deserves from all of His creation for the work of salvation that He accomplished through the cross. The words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 2:9-11 serve as the basis for the theme of the hymn: "Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

While this hymn does not specifically point to the work of Jesus that is our focus during the season of Lent, it does reminds us of the joy that is ours because of "Him who saves you by His grace," and the praise He deserves because of that work of grace. 

Join us for worship this weekend as join our voices to praise the name of Jesus because, as Peter proclaimed: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). 

May the LORD bless tune your lips to praise the name of Jesus in our worship this weekend!
