Author: Matthew Bridges; Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #264 (1976) Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns,The Lamb upon His throne;Hark! how the heavenly anthem drownsAll music but its own!Awake, my soul, and singOf Him who died for thee,And hail Him as thy matchless KingThrough all eternity.2 Crown Him the Son of GodBefore the worlds began,And ye, who tread where He hath trod,Crown Him the Son of Man;Who ev'ry grief hath knownThat wrings the human breast;And takes and bears them for His own;That all in Him may rest.3 Crown Him the Lord of life,Who triumphed o'er the grave,And rose victorious in the strifeFor those He came to save;His glories now we singWho died and rose on high,Who died, eternal life to bring,And lives that death may die.3 Crown him the Lord of love!Behold His hands and side,Rich wounds, yet visible above,In beauty glorified;All hail, Redeemer, hail!For Thou hast died for me;Thy praise shall never, never failThroughout eternity.
