A classic hymn inspired by words in Revelation - but these days we sing some words from the original, and some from a rewritten version. Hymnals differ in the verses they publish! Either way, it is a powerful song giving Christ the glory that is His. • 🙏 Support this ministry: https://shorturl.at/xDHU8 • 🎙️ My Audio Daily Devotions: https://shorturl.at/qtLR0 • 🎵 Buy my music: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lukepowell • 🌐 My website: https://lukepowellministries.com • Bridges' version: • 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. • 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! • 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! • Crown him the Lord of peace! • Whose power a scepter sways, • From pole to pole,--that wars may cease, • Absorbed in prayer and praise: • his reign shall know no end, • And round his pierced feet • Fair flowers of paradise extend • Their fragrance ever sweet. • Crown him the Lord of years! • The Potentate of time,-- • Creator of the rolling spheres, • Ineffably sublime! • Glassed in a sea of light, • Where everlasting waves • Reflect his throne,--the Infinite! • Who lives,--and loves--and saves. • Crown him the Lord of heaven! • One with the Father known,-- • And the blest Spirit, through him given • From yonder triune throne! • All hail! Redeemer,--Hail! • For Thou hast died for me; • Thy praise shall never, never fail • Throughout eternity! • Thring's version: • Crown him with crowns of gold, • All nations great and small, • Crown him, ye martyred saints of old, • The Lamb once slain for all; • The Lamb once slain for them • Who bring their praises now, • As jewels for the diadem • That girds his sacred brow. • Crown him the Son of God • Before the worlds began, • And ye, who tread where He hath trod, • Crown him the Son of Man; • Who every grief hath known • That wrings the human breast, • And takes and bears them for His own, • That all in him may rest. • Crown him the Lord of light, • Who o'er a darkened world • In robes of glory infinite • His fiery flag unfurled. • And bore it raised on high, • In heaven--in earth--beneath, • To all the sign of victory • O'er Satan, sin, and death. • 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. • Crown him of lords the Lord, • Who over all doth reign • Who once on earth, the incarnate Word, • For ransomed sinners slain, • Now lives in realms of light, • Where saints with angels sing • Their songs before him day and night, • Their God, Redeemer, king. • Crown him the Lord of heaven, • Enthroned in worlds above; • Crown him the king, to whom is given • The wondrous name of Love, • Crown him with many crowns, • As thrones before him fall. • Crown him, ye kings, with many crowns, • For He is King of all.
