1
Crown him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon his throne.
Hark! how the heav'nly anthem drowns
All music but its own.

2
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of him who died for thee,
And hail him as Thy matchless king
Through all eternity.

3
Crown him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o'er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save;

4
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 love;
Behold His hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified;

6
No angels in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends their burning eye
At mysteries so bright.

7
Crown him the Lord of years,
The potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
Ineffably sublime.

8
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou hast died for me;
Thy praise shall never, never fail
Throughout eternity.
