Crown Him with Many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894; Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 819 hymnals Topics: Easter Vigil Lyrics: 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 soul, and sing Of him who set us free, And hail him as your heav'nly 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 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 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 master of all time, Creator of the rolling spheres, And risen Lord sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For you have died for me; Your praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity. Scripture: Psalm 46:10 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

At the Cross Her Vigil Keeping

Author: Edward Caswall; Jacopone da Todi Meter: 8.8.7 Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Easter Vigil Lyrics: 1 At the cross, her vigil keeping stood the mournful Mother weeping where he hung, the dying Lord; 2 through her soul of joy bereavèd, bowed with sorrow, deeply grievèd, passed the sharp and piercing sword. 3 Who upon that mother gazing, in her anguish so amazing, born of woman, would not weep? 4 Who, of Christ's dear Mother thinking while her son that cup is drinking, would not share her sorrow deep? 5 For his people's sins chastisèd she beheld her Son despisèd scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined, 6 saw him then from judgement taken, and in death by all forsaken, till his spirit he resigned. 7 Near your cross, O Christ, abiding, grief and love my heart dividing, I with her would take my place: 8 by your saving cross uphold me, in your dying, Christ, enfold me, with the deathless arms of grace.
