Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) ‎#115

115. Crown Him with Many Crowns

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 woul, and sing
Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Thro' all eternity.

2 Crown Him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o'er the grave,
Who 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 peace,
Whose pow'r a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
Absorbed in prayer and prayse:
His reign shall know no end,
And round His pierced feet
Fair flow'rs of Paradise extend,
Their fragrance ever sweet.

4 Crown Him the Lord of heav'n,
One with the Father known,
And the blest Spirit, thro' Him giv'n
From yonder glorious throne!
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou hast died for me;
Thy praise and glory shall not fail
Thro'out eternity.
