“Crown Him with Many Crowns” #170 Vs 1, 3, 4 & 6 LBW

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.

3. Crown him the Lord of love-behold his hands and side,

    Rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified.

    No angels in the sky can fully bear that sight,

    But downward bend their eyes at mysteries so bright.

4. 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.

6. Crown him the Lord of years, the potentate of time,

    Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime.

    All hail, Redeemer, hail!  For thou has died for me;

    Thy praise and glory shall not fail throughout eternity.

to his throne beyond the skies. Alleluia!

lift your heads, eternal gates. Alleluia!
He has conquered death and sin; Alleluia!
take the King of glory in. Alleluia!

yet he loves the earth he leaves. Alleluia!
Though returning to his throne, Alleluia!
still he calls us all his own. Alleluia!

his atoning death he pleads, Alleluia!
near himself prepares our place, Alleluia!

partners of your endless reign, Alleluia!
see you with unclouded view, Alleluia!
