Crown Him with Many Crowns
Matthew Bridges, England (1852)
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 peace Whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease And all be prayer and praise
His reign shall know no end
And round His pierced feet
Fair flowers of paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.
Crown Him the Lord of love Behold His hands and side
Those wounds yet visible above In beauty glorified
All hail Redeemer, hail
For Thou hast died for me
Thy praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity
