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

Wesley (1707-1788 ) Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: The Ascension of Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the name high over all in hell or earth or sky; angels again before it fall and devils fear and fly, and devils fear and fly. 2 Jesus! the name to sinners dear, the name to sinners given; it scatters all their guilty fear, it turns their hell to heaven, it turns their hell to heaven. 3 Jesus the prisoner's fetters breaks and bruises Satan's head; power into strengthless souls he speaks and life into the dead, and life into the dead. 4 O that the world might taste and see the riches of his grace! The arms of love that welcome me would all mankind embrace, would all mankind embrace. 5 His righteousness alone I show, his saving grace proclaim; this is my work on earth below, to cry 'Behold the Lamb!' to cry 'Behold the Lamb!' 6 Happy if with my final breath I may but gasp his name, preach him to all, and cry in death, 'Christ Jesus is the Lamb!'
