Crown Him with Many Crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges; Godfrey Thring Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 795 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 19:11-16 Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns,
the Lamb upon his throne,
while heaven's eternal anthem drowns
all music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
of him who died to be
your Savior and your matchless King
through all eternity.
2 Crown him the Lord of life,
triumphant o'er the grave,
who rose victorious from the strife
for those he came to save.
His glories now we sing
who died and reigns on high;
he died, eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.
3 Crown him the Lord of peace;
his kingdom is at hand.
From pole to pole let warfare cease
and Christ rule every land!
All hail, Redeemer, hail,
for you have died for me.
Your praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity.

The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 510 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 19:11-16 Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns
is crowned with glory now;
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
is his, is his by right
the King of kings and Lord of lords,
and heaven's eternal Light;
3 the joy of all who dwell above,
the joy of all below,
to whom he manifests his love
and grants his Name to know.
4 To them the cross with all its shame,
with all its grace, is given;
their name, an everlasting name;
their joy, the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him:
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme.

spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of Light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.

cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the Presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,

Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,

No ear has heard the might
Of Thy glory;

Eternally
Sing hymns of praise and joy to Thee!

At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing
Author: Robert Campbell (1814-1868) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 19:1-10 Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing
praise to our victorious King,
who hath washed us in the tide
flowing from his pierced side;
praise we him, whose love divine
gives his sacred blood for wine,
gives his body for the feast,
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.
2 Where the paschal blood is poured,
death's dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
paschal victim, paschal bread;
with sincerity and love
eat we manna from above.
3 Mighty victim from on high,
hell's fierce powers beneath thee lie;
death is broken in the fight,
thou has brought us life and light.
Now no more can death appal,
now no more the grave enthral!
Thou has opened paradise,
and in thee thy saints shall rise.
4 This, our gift of Easter joy,
sin alone can now destroy;
from sin's power do thou set free
souls new-born, O Lord, in thee.
Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto thee we raise;
risen Lord, all praise to thee,
with the Spirit ever be. Topics: Easter (season); Easter Vigil ; Eucharist; Funeral Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: Latin, 1632
At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing
Soul, Adorn Yourself with Gladness
Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 119 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 19:7-9 Lyrics: 1 Soul, adorn yourself with gladness,
leave the gloomy haunts of sadness,
come into the daylight's splendor,
there with joy your praises render.
Bless the One whose grace unbounded
this amazing banquet founded;
he, though heav'nly, high, and holy,
deigns to dwell with you most lowly.
2 Hasten as a bride to meet him,
eagerly and gladly greet him.
There he stands already knocking;
quickly, now, your gate unlocking,
open wide the fast-closed portal,
saying to the Lord immortal:
"Come, and leave your loved one never;
dwell within my heart forever."
3 Now in faith I humbly ponder
over this surpassing wonder
that the bread of life is boundless
though the souls it feeds are countless;
with the choicest wine of heaven
Christ's own blood to us is given.
Oh, most glorious consolation,
pledge and seal of my salvation.
4 Jesus, source of lasting pleasure,
truest friend and dearest treasure,
peace beyond all understanding,
joy into all life expanding:
humbly now, I bow before you,
love incarnate, I adore you;
worthily let me receive you,
and, so favored, never leave you. Topics: Bread of Life; Cheerfulness; Christ Friend; Union with Christ Used With Tune: SCHMÜCKE DICH Text Sources: Rev. in Lutheran Book of Worship, 1878

The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns
Author: John Brownlie, 1827-1925 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 19:11-16 Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns
And light triumphant breaks.
When beauty gilds the eastern hills
And life to joy awakes.
2 Not, as of old, a little child,
To suffer and to die,
But crowned with glory like the sun
That lights the morning sky.
3 The King shall come when morning dawns
And earth's dark night is past;
O haste the rising of that morn,
Whose day shall ever last.
4 Then let the endless bliss begin,
By weary saints foretold,
When right shall triumph over wrong,
And truth shall be extolled.
5 The King shall come when morning dawns
And light and beauty brings.
Hail, Christ, the Lord! Your people pray:
Come quickly, King of kings!
