Grant me faith through all my days! 3 Father, throned in heav'n above, Hallowed be Thy name in love; Let Thy kingdom come, we pray, And Thy will be done alway; Give us food, forgiveness send, In temptations aid extend, Save us, Lord, when comes our end! Amen! Lord, Thy Church defend! 4 God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, Three in One, I, baptized into Thy name, As Thy child Thy blessing claim; Grant that by Thy promised grace I my trust in Thee may place, All my sins with peace replace Till in heav'n I see Thy face. 5 Jesus, let my soul be fed With Thyself, the living Bread, For Thy flesh is meat indeed, And Thy cleansing blood I need; Let it cleanse from sin and shame, Keep me from all harm and blame, That Thy death I may proclaim, And forever bless Thy name!

Thring, 1823-1903 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 803 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 Virgin's Son, The God incarnate born, Whose arm those crimson trophies won Which now His brow adorn; Fruit of the mystic rose, As of that rose the stem; The root whence mercy ever flows, The Babe of Bethlehem. 3 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 downward bends his wond'ring eye 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. 5 Crown Him the Lord of Heav'n, Enthroned in worlds above; Crown Him the King to whom is giv'n The wondrous name of Love. Crown Him with many crowns As thrones before him fall; Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, For He is King of all. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
