————————— Verse 1: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————

Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne


Hark! How the heav'nly 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 eter nity

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 mag nified

Crown Him the Lord of years, the po-tentate 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 eter nity!
