Crown him with many crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges (1800-1894) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #227 (2013) Topics: Ascension Day 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 Virgin's Son, the God incarnate born, whose arm those crimson trophies won which now his brow adorn: Fruit of the mystic Rose, as of that Rose the Stem; the Root whence mercy ever flows, the Babe of Bethlehem. 3 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, those wounds yet visible above in beauty glorified: no angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a sceptre sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise: his reign shall know no end, and round his piercèd feet fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 5 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. Scripture: Isaiah 11:1 Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

All thy people are forgiven through the virtue of thy blood; opened is the gate of heaven; reconciled are we with God. 3 Jesus, hail! Enthroned in glory, there for ever to abide; all the heavenly host adore thee, seated at thy Father's side.

The head that once was crowned with thorns

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #232 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ascension Day Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns is crowned with glory now: a royal diadem adorns the mighty Victor's brow. 2 The highest place that heaven affords is his, is his by right, the King of kings, and Lord of lords, and heaven's eternal Light; 3 The joy of all who dwell above, the joy of all below, to whom he manifests his love, and grants his name to know. 4 To them the cross, with all its shame, with all its grace, is given: their name, an everlasting name, their joy, the joy of heaven. 5 They suffer with their Lord below, they reign with him above; their profit and their joy to know the mystery of his love. 6 The cross he bore is life and health, though shame and death to him; his people's hope, his people's wealth, their everlasting theme.

O God of God! O Light of Light!

Author: John Julian Hymnal: The Hymnal #251 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: The Ascension Day Lyrics: O God of God! O Light of Light! Thou Prince of Peace, thou King of kings, To thee, where angels know no night, The song of praise for ever rings: To him who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain for sinful men, Be honour, might; all by him won; Glory and praise! Amen, Amen! Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' wingèd word, Slowly in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Goodwill to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Re-echoed now, "Goodwill!" Amen! That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death of pain, mid hate and scorn; These all are past, and now above He reigns our King! once crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates; So sang his hosts, unheard by men; Lift up your heads, for you he waits. We lift them up! Amen, Amen! Nations afar, in ignorance deep; Isles of the sea, where darkness lay: These hear his voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth thy light," O Lamb, once slain for sinful men; Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free! Amen, Amen! Sing to the Lord a glorious song, Sing to his Name, his love forth tell; Sing on, heaven's hosts, his praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell: Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain, From angels, praise; and thanks from men; Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and power! Amen, Amen! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: JORDAN
