Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died to be your Saviour and your matchless King through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Son of God, before the worlds began; let all who tread where he has trod, crown him the Son of Man, who every grief has known that wrings the human breast, and takes and bears them for his own, that all in him may rest. 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 peace whose kingdom is at hand; from pole to pole let warfare cease and Christ rule every land! A city stands on high; Christ's glory it displays, and there the nations "Holy" cry in joyful hymns of praise. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, the Source, the End of time, Creator of the rolling spheres in majesty sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail, for you have died for me; your praise shall never, never fail through all eternity! Scripture: Isaiah 53:4 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
