Crown Him with many crowns


Matthew Bridges

Crown Him with many crowns
The lamb upon the 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
Throughout eternity.

Crown Him the Son of God
Before the worlds began
And you, who tread where he has trod
Crown Him the Son of man:
Who every grief has known
That wrings the human breast
And takes and bears them for his own
That all in him may rest.

Crown him the Lord of love!
Behold his hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downwards bends his burning eye
At mysteries so bright.

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 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
Through all eternity.
