LyicsCROWN him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon his 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
Through all eternity.
Crown him the Lord of love;
Behold his hands and side-
Those wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified!
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his wondering eye
At mysteries so bright.
Crown him the Lord of heaven,
One with the Father known,
And the blest Spirit through him given
From yonder glorious throne!
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For thou hast died for me;
Thy praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity.
