 D              Bm   G
Crown him with many crowns,
 D        G         A
The Lamb upon His throne;
       D       Bm        E     A
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
 D   A    Esus E   A   A7
All music but its own.
 D                 G
Awake my soul and sing
    E                A
Of Him who died for thee,
 A7  D       G   D   Em        D
And hail Him as thy matchless King
      G       A   D
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 it for His own
That all in Him might rest.

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 the Lord of peace,
Whose pow'r 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 pierced feet
Fair flowers of paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.

Crown Him the Lord of love;
Behold His hands and side,
Those wounds yet visible above,
In beauty glorified:
All hail, Redeemer hail!
For Thou has died for me:
Thy praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity.
