Crown Him With Many Crowns - Hymn

The hymn 'Crown Him With Many Crowns' written by Matthew Bridges (1800-1894) and Godfrey Thring (1823-1903) sang at the Friday night Free Presbyterian Easter Convention in the Martyrs Memorial Free Presbyterian Church (Ravenhill Road, Belfast).
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 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 love
Behold His hands and side,
Those 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 life
Who triumphed over 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 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 piercèd 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.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou has died for me;
Thy praise shall never, never
Fail throughout eternity.
