Verse 1:

D              Bm   G
Crown Him with many crowns

    D/F#   G    D   A
The Lamb  upon  His throne:

      D   A/C#  Bm       E    E/G#  A
Hark! how the   heav'nly an - them  drowns

D/F#  A/E  D/E  Esus  E   A
All   mu - sic  but   its own!

A/G   D/F#              G
A  -  wake my soul, and sing

   E/G#             A     A/G
Of Him who died for thee,

    D/F#     G  D/F#  Em   A    D
And hail Him as thy   matchless King

D/F#  G    A    D
Thru  all eternity.


Verse 2:

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.


Verse 3:

Crown Him the Lord of life: Who triumphed o'er the grave,
Who rose victorious to 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.


Verse 4:

Crown Him the Lord of heav'n: One with the Father known,
One with the Spirit thru Him giv'n From yonder glorious
throne.  To Thee be endless praise, For Thou for us hast died;
Be Thou, O Lord, thru endless days Adored and magnified.


Verse 5:

Crown Him the Lord of years: The potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!  For Thou hast died for me;
Thy praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity.
