#634: All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

Low-ish Shannon density: lines 5 and 6 just repeat lines 3 and 4 every verse, and line 4/6 is "and crown him Lord of all." There's another hymn about "crown him with many crowns," but neither of these are in the "Christ the King" mini-section.

"forget"/"feet" is a bold rhyme. "Ascribe" is an odd word because it's clear what it means, but it feels very hard to define except through the contemporary phrase "chalk up [to]," which I could basically only define as "ascribe." I guess you have to illustrate it by example.

"All majesty should be ascribed to Jesus."
"Chalk up our team's success to our skill and hustle."
Etc.
