The Crown Medley: All Hail The Power Of Jesus Name / Crown Him With Many Crowns / Before The Throne Of God Above

“The Crown Medley” strings together three well-loved hymns of praise: “All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name,” “Crown Him with Many Crowns” and “Before the Throne of God Above.” Sung as one continuous piece, it moves from a call for royal honor to a picture of the Lamb enthroned and then to the quiet comfort of a Savior who pleads for his people.

The opening hymn asks the angels to fall down, bring the royal diadem and crown him Lord of all. The second hymn takes up the heavenly anthem that drowns all music but its own. The final section turns personal, saying that the singer has a strong and perfect plea because a great High Priest whose name is Love lives to speak for her. It continues with the lines that his name is graven on his hands and written on his heart, and that no tongue can bid her depart from his side. The medley closes with a promise to join the everlasting song at his feet. Putting the three together gives a worship leader a full arc, starting with majesty, moving through victory and ending in assurance. Choirs often use it near the close of a service or at a celebration, because the key changes between hymns let the congregation build until the final verse sounds like a crowd of voices.

The many crowns on his head are in Revelation 19:12. His constant intercession is Hebrews 7:25, and a name engraved on his hands is Isaiah 49:16.
