Crown Him

- 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.
- 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.
- Crown Him the Lord of love;
- Behold His hands and side,
- Those 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.
- Crown Him the Lord of peace,
- Whose power a sceptre sways
- From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
- And all be prayer and praise:
- His reign shall know no end,
- And round His piercèd feet
- Fair flowers of paradise extend
- Their fragrance ever sweet.
- 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
