Sunday's Hymn

Crown Him with Many Crowns

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.

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 peace; whose pow’r a scepter sways 
From pole to pole, that wars may cease, absorbed in prayer and praise: 
His reign shall know no end; and round His pierced feet 
Fair flow’rs of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet.

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.

—Matthew Bridges, Godfrey Thring
