All Hail The Power (Coronation) / King Of Glory

When we gather to begin Mass, especially on feast days or during Palm Sunday, we need music that immediately lifts our eyes to the majesty of Christ. This handwritten solfa sheet brings together two great hymns of praise that do exactly that: "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" (set to the familiar Coronation tune) and "King of Glory, King of Peace." Both pieces are staples in the choir loft, offering a robust, triumphant sound that encourages the whole congregation to join in the procession.

The first hymn, "All Hail the Power," is a true call to worship. As we sing through the verses, we invite angels, the chosen seed of Israel, and every kindred and tribe to bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him Lord of all. The repeating final lines of each stanza give the choir a chance to swell in volume and harmony, creating a sense of universal adoration. It is a piece that demands our best energy and a bright, full-throated delivery.

Following it is "King of Glory," a deeply personal yet majestic hymn of dedication. The words shift from a grand, cosmic crowning to an intimate promise: "I will love thee... I will sing thee." Singing these two pieces back-to-back provides a beautiful balance for a Sunday liturgy. We start by acknowledging Christ's supreme authority over the universe, and we follow it by offering Him the "cream of all our heart" in loving, continuous praise.
