Crown Him

Author: L. M. Latimer Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: They hushed their breath, that noble band Refrain First Line: Then speed thee on to every land Lyrics: 1 They hushed their breath, that noble band, To catch the last farewell, The dear home shore receding fast, With every ocean swell. Above the city’s noise and din, A song rose on the air, A song of triumph and of joy, From loved ones gathered there. Refrain: Then speed thee on to every land, Proclaim the Gospel call, Till souls who sit in darkness now, Shall crown Him Lord of all. 2 All hail the power of Jesus’ name, And clear as bugle call, The words came floating on the air, O crown Him Lord of all. They caught the spirit of that hymn Danger and death looked small To those brave ones who gave their lives To crown Him Lord of all. [Refrain] 3 A battle hymn that song sped on, The world for Christ the call; For every island of the sea Shall crown Him Lord of all. On Afric’s far off sunny slopes, By China’s kingly wall, They lay their lives down at His feet, And crown Him Lord of all. [Refrain] 4 The southern cross begins to bend, The morning dawns at last; See idol, shrine and mosque and tower, At Jesus’ feet are cast. Triumphant Zion, lift thy head, Let every burden fall; Come, cast your trophies at His feet, And crown Him Lord of all.

Refrain: We consecreate ourselves anew, Our all to Him we give (we give). O may we do as He would do And live as He would live. 2 In union sweet we love to meet, And feel "the tie that binds"; It gives relief to weary feet, And balm to fainting minds; And O the common ties of earth Are small compared with His, For ours the bond princely birth, The hope of heav’nly bliss. [Refrain] 3 We consecrate ourselves anew, Our heart’s best offering give, Resolved to do as He would do, And live as He would live; And O we know we must succeed, With such a guide and friend; Our vows will blossom into deeds, And in fruition end.

O land where prophets trod; O Galilee, sweet Galilee, Where walked the Son of God. 2 O Galilee, sweet Galilee!

[Refrain] 3 O Galilee, sweet Galilee! We claim thee as our own; Where first He came, whose mission was To bind all flesh in one; O native land, O covenant land, Of earth’s most royal king!

No gloom, no night, nor cloud of grief Can ever cast a shade Across those sunny plains of peace In light and love arrayed! Refrain: The world above is not like this, So dark, so sad, and drear; Oh no, for there the years of bliss Roll on without a tear! 2 The world above is not like this, No parting tears are shed, Nor sweet affection’s lingering kiss, Bestowed upon the dead; There severed hearts unite again, In love around the throne, And far beyond this world of pain Take up their crown and home! [Refrain] 3 Oh for a harp in that bright world, Far from the tears of this; Here death’s black banners are unfurled To shade each hour of bliss; But there each spirit-harp will thrill With music’s endless tones, And Jesus’ smile forever fill With light our angel homes.

No earthly eye I know hath seen The glories that are thine; Nor ear hath heard such strains as rise From ’mid the host divine. [Refrain] 3 But more than all thy streets can boast, My eager eyes would see Jesus, the precious Lamb of God, Who died to ransom me! "Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Name ever dear to me, O may at last my name be found" With Christ, my Lord, in Thee.

Refrain: O Savior! help me to believe, Believe, and sin no more; Nor e’er, again, Thy Spirit grieve, But love Thee evermore. 2 When I remember all my sin Against Thy law and grace, And see how false my heart has been, I fear to seek Thy face; My trembling soul sinks in despair Beneath the heavy load; All faith is taken from my prayer; I stand condemned of God. [Refrain] 3 Let not the foe my heart deceive, Forgiveness is in store; O let me now look up, believe, Believe, and sin no more! Thy Word demands of feeble dust Forgiveness full and free, And surely, Thou who art so just Will fully pardon me.

I watch with humble shepherds there At midnight calm and still, While snowy flocks sleep peacefully Upon the dew kissed hill. Refrain: O Christmas bells, ring out, ring out, Your merry chimes today, And bear us back to Bethlehem, Where Christ the Savior lay. 2 Whene’er I hear the Christmas bells Ring out so joyously, The wondrous light which streamed from Heav’n That night I seem to see. I catch a glimpse of angels fair, I hear the news they bring. That in a lonely manger lies The world’s expected King. [Refrain] 3 Whene’er I hear the Christmas bells Ring out so sweet and clear, The song the bright winged angels sang Methinks I still can hear: "All glory in the highest be Unto our God for aye; Good will to men and peace on earth, Upon this happy day."
