Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894; Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #58 (2007) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D 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
Through all eternity.
2 Crown Him the Lord of love,
Behold His hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified.
No angel is the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends His burning eye
At mysteries so bright.
3 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.
4 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.
Amen. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Ascension; Close of Worship / Sending Forth; Cross; Jesus Christ; Kingdom; Opening of Worship; Peace; Resurrection; Second Coming; Time Scripture: Revelation 19:12 Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA
