Verse 1:
DBmGDGDA
Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne;
DBmEADEA
Hark how the heav'nly anthem drowns, all music but it's own!
A7DGB7EA
Awake my soul and sing, of Him who died for thee,
A7DGA7DGA7D
And hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity.
Verse 2:
DBmGDGDA
Crown Him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave,
DBmEADEA
And rose victorious in the strife, for those He came to save:
A7DGB7EA
His glories now we sing, who died and rose on high;
A7DGA7DGA7D
Who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die.
Verse 3:
DBmGDGDA
Crown Him the Lord of love; behold His hands and side,
DBmEADEA
Those wounds yet visible above, in beauty glorified:
A7DGB7EA
No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight,
A7DGA7DGA7D
But downward bends His burning eye at mysteries so bright.
Verse 4:
DBmGDGDA
Crown Him the Lord of peace, whose power a sceptre sways,
DBmEADEA
From pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise:
A7DGB7EA
His reign shall know no end, and round His pierced feet,
A7DGA7DGA7D
Fair flowers of paradise extend, their fragrance ever sweet.
Verse 5:
DBmGDGDA
Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time,
DBmEADEA
Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime!
A7DGB7EA
All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou hast died for me;
A7DGA7DGA7D
Thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.
