Crown Him with Many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894; Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 867 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark! how the heav'nly 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 love, Behold His hands and side, Rich wounds, yet visible above In beauty glorified. No angel is the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends His burning eye At mysteries so bright. 3 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. 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. Amen.

Life mounts in ev'ry throbbing vein, Love deepens round the hearth, And clearer sounds the angel hymn, "Good will to men on earth." 3 O Thou from whose unfathomed law The year in beauty flows, Thyself the vision passing by In crystal and in rose, Day unto day doth utter speech, And night to night proclaim, In ever-changing words of light, The wonder of Thy name.
