Crown Him with Many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges; Godfrey Thring Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 801 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon the throne. Hark! how the heav’nly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as the matchless king, through all eternity. 2 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. 3 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side. Rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified. No angels in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bend their burning eyes at mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of peace, whose pow’r a scepter sways from pole to pole that wars may cease, absorbed in prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end; and round his pierced feet fair flow’rs 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.

Great creator still creating, show us what we yet may do. 2 We have ventured worlds undreamed of since the childhood of our race, known the ecstasy of winging through untraveled realms of space, probed the secrets of the atom, yielding unimagined pow’r, facing us with life’s destruction or our most triumphant hour. 3 As each far horizon beckons, may it challenge us anew, children of creative purpose serving others, hon’ring you. May our dreams prove rich with promise, each endeavor well begun. Great creator, give us guidance till our goals and yours are one.
