Redeemed Hymn 115 – Crown Him with many crowns

“For there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” -Acts 4:12

1 Crown Him with many crowns

The lamb upon His throne

Hark! How the heavenly anthems drowns

All music but its own

Awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee,

And hall Him as thy matchless king

Thro all eternity

 

2 Crown him the Virgin’s son,

The God incarnate born

Whose am those Crimson trophies won

Which now His brow a dorm

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,

Those wounds yet visible above

In beauty glorified

No angel in the sky

Can fully bear that sight,

But do downward to bends his burning eye

At mysteries so bright

 

4 Crown him the lord of life.

Who triumphed over 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 peace,

Whose power a scepter sways

From pole to pole, that wars may case,

And all be prayer and praise,

His reign shall know no end,

And round His pierced feet

Fair flowers paradise extend

Their fragrance ever sweet.

 

6 Crown Him the lord of years,

The potentate of time

Creator of the rolling spheres

Ineffably sublime:

All hail, Redeemer, hall

For Thou hast died for me,

Thy praise shall never, never fail

Throughout eternity.
