Edward Perronet
Edward Perronet (1726 - January 2, 1792) is perhaps most famous for penning the lyrics to the well known hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name". Born in SundÂridge, Kent, England, Perronet was the descendant of a French Huguenot family which fled first to Switzerland and then to England to escape religious persecution.
