Crown him with many crowns

Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903; Matthew Bridges, 1800 - 94 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #431 (1958) Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service 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 Lord of life, Who triumphed o'er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife For those he came to save. His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high, Who died, eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of love, Behold his hands and side, Rich 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, Absorbed in 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 and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

Thou didst leave thy throne

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott, 1836 - 97 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #433 (1958) Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave thy throne And thy kingly crown When thou camest to earth for me, But in Bethlehem's home Was there found no room For thy holy nativity: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus; There is room in my heart for thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang When the angels sang, Proclaiming thy royal degree; But of lowly birth Didst thou come to earth, And in great humility: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus; There is room in my heart for thee. 3 The foxes found rest And the birds their nest In the shade of the forest tree; But thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus; There is room in my heart for thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, With the living word, That should set thy people free; But with mocking scorn, And with crown of thorn, They bore thee to Calvary: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 5 When the heavens shall ring, And the angels sing At thy coming to victory, Let thy voice call me home, Saying, 'Yet there is room, There is room at my side for thee.' And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When thou comest and callest for me. Languages: English Tune Title: MARGARET

The head that once was crowned with thorns

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769 - 1854 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #439 (1958) Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service 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.
