Crown Him with Many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges; Godfrey Thring Appears in 836 hymnals Topics: Cross of Christ; Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark! how the heav'nly 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 Thro' all eternity. 2 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 wond'ring eye At mysteries so bright. 3 Crown Him the Lord of life! Who triumphed o'er the grave; Who rose victorious to 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. 4 Crown Him the Lord of Heav'n! One with the Father known, One with the Spirit through Him giv'n From yonder glorious throne! To Thee be endless praise, For Thou for us hast died; Be Thou, O Lord, thro' endless days Adored and magnified. Amen. Used With Tune: [Crown Him with many crowns]

Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 752 hymnals Topics: Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded With thorns, Thine only crown; O sacred Head, what glory, What bliss till now was Thine! Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. 2 O noblest Brow and dearest, In other days the world All feared when Thou appearedst; What shame on Thee is hurled! How art Thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn! How does that visage languish, Which once was bright as morn! 3 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinners’ gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior, ’Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 4 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever; And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: Translation from the German
