Crown Him With Many Crowns

Lyrics

Crown him with many crowns,

The lamb upon his throne.

While heaven’s eternal anthem drowns

All music but its own.

Awake my soul and sing

Of him who died to be

Your saviour and your matchless king

Through all eternity.

Crown him the Lord of life,

Triumphant from the grave

Who rose victorious from the strife

For those he came to save.

His glories now we sing

Who died and reigns on high,

Who died, eternal life to bring

And lives that death may die.

Crown him the Lord of love,

Who shows his hands and side,

Those wounds yet visible above,

In beauty glorified.

No angel in the sky

Can fully bear the sight,

But downward bends his burning eye

At mysteries so bright.

Crown him the Lord of peace,

His kingdom is at hand;

From pole to pole let warfare cease

And Christ rule every land!

A city stands on high,

His glory it displays,

And there the nations “holy” cry

In joyful hymns of praise.

Crown him the Lord of years,

The potentate of time

Creator of the rolling spheres

In majesty sublime

All hail, Redeemer, hail!

For you have died for me

Your praise shall never, never fail

Through all eternity.

All hail, Redeemer, hail!

For you have died for me

Your praise shall never, never fail

Through all eternity.
