Crown Him with Many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges; Godfrey Thring Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 803 hymnals Topics: Christ Ascension 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 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 bends their burning eye at mysteries so bright. 4 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. Worship and Rejoice, 2003

He lives in us, the Christ of God

Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 10 The Mind of Christ; Pentecost 6 Made New in Christ Lyrics: 1 He lives in us, the Christ of God, his Spirit joins with ours; he brings to us the Father's grace with powers beyond our powers. And if enticing sin grows strong, when human nature fails, God's Spirit in our inner self fights with us, and prevails. 3 Our pangs of guilt and fears of death are Satan's stratagems — by Jesus Christ who died for us God pardons; who condemns? And when we cannot feel our faith, nor bring ourselves to pray, the Spirit pleads with God for us in words we could not say. 3 God gave his Son to save us all — no other love like this! then shall he ever turn away from those he marks as his? And God has raised him from the grave, in this we stand assured; so none can tear us from his love in Jesus Christ our Lord. Scripture: Romans 8 Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL (IRONS)

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.8 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Life of; Jesus Christ Love of Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Savior’s love for me: love to the loveless shown that they might lovely be. But who am I, that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh and die? 2 He came from heaven’s throne salvation to bestow. But they refused, and none the longed-for Christ would know. This is my friend, my friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend. 3 Sometimes they crowd his way and his sweet praises sing, resounding all the day hosannas to their King. Then “crucify” is all their breath, and for his death they thirst and cry. 4 With angry shouts they have my savior done away. A murderer they save, the Source of Life they slay! Yet willingly he bears the shame that through his name all might be free. 5 In life, no house, no home the Christ on earth might have. In death, no friendly tomb, but what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav’n was his home, but mine the tomb wherein he lay. 6 Here might I sing belief in one my soul adores: never was pain nor grief, never was love like yours. This is my friend in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN Text Sources: The Young Man’s Meditations, or Some Few Sacred Poems . . ., 1664; rev. Hymns for Today’s Church, alt.

Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find: Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy Name; I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart. Rise to all eternity. Amen. Used With Tune: HOLLINGSIDE
