|  | 1. | 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. | 
|  | 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 Tree, | 
|  |  | As of that Tree the Stem; | 
|  |  | The Root whence flows Thy mercy free, | 
|  |  | 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. | 
|  | 4. | Crown Him the Lord of peace, | 
|  |  | Whose power a scepter sways | 
|  |  | >From pole to pole, that wars may cease, | 
|  |  | And all be prayer and praise. | 
|  |  | His reign shall know no end, | 
|  |  | And round His piercd feet | 
|  |  | Fair flowers of glory now extend | 
|  |  | Their fragrance ever sweet. | 
|  | 5. | Crown Him the Lord of years, | 
|  |  | The Potentate of time, | 
|  |  | Creator of the rolling spheres, | 
|  |  | Ineffably sublime. | 
|  |  | All hail, Redeemer, hail! | 
|  |  | For Thou hast died for me; | 
|  |  | Thy praise shall never, never fail | 
|  |  | Throughout eternity. |
