Author: Matthew Bridges; Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The Celebration Hymnal #45 (1997) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Christ Ascension and Reign Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne.
Hark! how the heavenly 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.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou hast died for me:
Thy praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity.
3 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.
4 Crown Him the Lord of heaven!
One with the Father known,
One with the Spirit through Him given
From yonder glorious throne.
To Thee be endless praise,
For Thou for us hast died.
Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days
Adored and magnified! Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA
Crown Him with Many Crowns
