17. 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 it's 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 Lord of love;

   Behold His hands and side,

   Rich wounds, yet visible above,

   In beauty glorified.

   All hail, Redeemer, hail!

   For thou hast died for me;

   Thy praise shall never, never fail

   Throughout 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.

   His glories now we sing,

   Who died, and rose on high,

   Who died, eternal life to bring,

   And lives that death may die.

4. Crown him the Lord of Heaven,

   Enthroned in worlds above,

   The King of kings to whom is given

   The wondrous name of Love:

   His reign shall know no end,

   And round His pierced feet

   Fair flowers of Paradise extend

   Their fragrance ever sweet.
