CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS

  1. Crown 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.
  2. Crown him the Virgin’s Son,
    The God incarnate born,
    Whose arm those crimson trophies won,
    Which now his brow adorn;
    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,
    Rich wounds yet visible above
    In beauty glorified:
    No angel in the sky
    Can fully bear that sight,
    But downward bends his burning eye
    At mysteries so bright.
