Song lyrics to Crown Him with Many Crowns, By Matthew Bridges – famous Easter hymn
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
Thro’ all eternity.
Crown Him the Lord of Love!
Behold His hands and side –
Rich wound, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou has died for me.
Thy praise shall never, never fail
Thro’-out eternity.
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.
Crown Him the Lord of Heav’n!
One with the Father known,
One with the Spirit thro’ Him giv’n
From yonder glorious throne!
To Thee be endless praise,
For Thou for us hast died,
Be Thou, O Lord, Thro’ endless days
Adored and magnified.
