We also sang 'All Hail the Power of Jesus Name' during every Sunday worship service. After the singsperation, the presider would always say, 'Good Afternoon, welcome to our Sunday worship service. Let's all rise and sing hymn 11." In our hymn books hymn 11 was 'All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name.' My director never gave a reason for singing this hymn everyweek. He must have been following the pattern set by Samuel Lee. UBF is supposed to focus on college students. I do not know any college students who want to sing the same hymn, week after week and month after month.
It is a beautiful hymn, but UBF has spoiled it for me. Everytime I hear 'All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name, I will be reminded of UBF.
