Crown him with many crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894 Appears in 834 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 11:1 Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne; hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless king through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Virgin's Son, the God incarnate born, whose arm those crimson trophies won which now his brow adorn: Fruit of the mystic Rose, as of that Rose the Stem; the Root whence mercy ever flows, the Babe of Bethlehem. 3 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, those wounds yet visible above in beauty glorified: no angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a sceptre sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise: his reign shall know no end, and round his piercèd feet fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time, creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime: all hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.

Thro' God's eternal will This Child to her is given At midnight calm and still. 3 The shepherds heard the story, Proclaimed by angels bright, How Christ, the Lord of Glory, Was born on earth this night. To Bethlehem they sped And in the manger found Him, As angel heralds said. 4 This Flower whose fragrance tender With sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor The darkness everywhere. True Man, yet very God; From sin and death He saves us And lightens every load. 5 0 Savior, Child of Mary, Who felt our human woe; O Savior, King of Glory. Who dost our weakness know, Bring us at length, we pray. To the bright courts of heaven And to the endless day. Amen. Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Used With Tune: ES IST EIN' ROS'
