Hymns of the Russian Church ‎#42

42. Crown the Lord of glory

Crown the Lord of glory,
Angels, crown your King;
Saints, whose souls He ransomed,
Bring your offering;
Let no voice be silent,
Laud and honour bring.

Crown the Lord of glory,--
Once He dwelt below,
Bore the cross of sorrow,
Drank the cup of woe;
Now He reigns triumphant,
Let your praises flow.

Crown the Lord of glory;--
On the earth He wore
Purple robe that mocked Him,
Thorns His brow that tore;
Now His griefs are ended,
Praise Him evermore.

Crown the Lord of glory,
For His work is done;
43
Crown the King of angels,
God's eternal Son;
In my life enthroned
Be Thy reign begun.
