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 eternity.

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.

Crown Him the Lord of life! Who triumphed o’er the grave,Who 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 the Lord of heav’n! One with the Father known,One with the Spirit through Him giv’n from yonder glorious throne,To Thee be endless praise, for Thou for us hast died;Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days adored and magnified.

Date: 1th century

Writer(s): Matthew Bridges and Godfrey Thring

Inspiration for writing: 2 Anglican ministers combined their efforts to write a song celebrating the victorious Lord. Their contributions were written about 2 decades apart. The tune to the song was added later by an English organist.

7 Lessons:

  1. God is Lord, He rules from His throne in heaven, and we must acknowledge Him as such.

  2. In heaven, there is music directed towards the Lord.

  3. We must echo that same praise now and forever.

  4. The crucified Savior is beautiful.

  5. Death and sin were defeated by Him at the cross and tomb.

  6. Jesus died (at one time) so we might live (forever).

  7. Each member of the Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – is involved in saving us.
