1 Crown Him, crown Him with glory the King of kings;
Praise and homage each heart as its tribute brings;
Sing, O earth, and unite, in the mighty refrain-
Christ, our Redeemer and King, will forever reign!

Chorus:
Sing hosannas, loud let the joyful anthems ring,
Laud and worship Him whom the angels adore!
Crown Him, crown Him, Savior, Redeemer and King,
Glory to God in the highest-
Glory forevermore!

2 He who reigns o'er the kingdoms of earth today,
Sends His blessings to those in the heav'nward way;
Sing we praises with hearts that with love overflow-
Glory to Jesus who conquers our ev'ry foe! [Chorus]

3 Praise Him, praise Him, the King on the great white throne;
Love Him, serve Him, who ruleth by love alone;
Up to heaven the shout of the glorified rings-
Laud and adore Him, and crown Him the King of kings!
