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.

I love this hymn -- but it can be rather tedious/comical when sung by a congregation unfamiliar with the tune. (all the notes on the first crown him...much like Angels We Have Heard On High with all the glorias!) It's at the United Methodist Online Hymnal, #155, here. And at The Cyberhymnal here. (Click on the midi for Diadem -- the words aren't quite the same.) Edited By Mary in Kentucky - 15-Dec-2003 11:15:35 PM | ||

I wish I'd known that - it would have saved oodles of work! | ||

DIADEM (another simplified version) is in a shape-note tunebook Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book, by John R. Dailey and E.W. Thomas (Luray, Va. & Danville, Ind.: Published by the authors, 1902, pp. 12-13). I've rewritten with a repeat part (using D.S., Segno and Fine) run on, because I don't know how to write it. George Pullen Jackson (in Down-East Spirituals And Others, 1943; Da Capo, 1975, p. 167) says that "There are tune resemblances to 'It's of a Pleasant Month of May' [JFSS, i, 204] and 'The Ploughboy's Dream' [Ibid., ii, 203] ."
