D Bm G
Crown Him with many crowns,
D G A D A
The Lamd up-on His throne;
D A Bm D E Bm A
Hark! How the heaven-ly an-them drowns
E7 A D E A
All mu-sic but its own!
A7 D A7 D G
A- wake my soul, and sing
B7 E D E A
Of Him who died for thee;
A7 D G D Em7 A D
And hail Him as thy match-less King
G D Asus4 A7 D
Through all e-ter - ni-ty.
[Verse 2]
D Bm G
Crown Him the Lord of love!
D G A D A
Behold His hands and side,
D A Bm D E Bm A
Those wounds, yet vis-i-ble a-bove,
E7 A D E A
In beau-ty glori-fied;
A7 D A7 D G
No angel in the sky
B7 E D E A
Can fully bear that sight,
A7 D G D Em7 A D
But down-ward bends His wonder-ing eye
G D Asus4 A7 D
At mys-ter-ies so great.
[Verse 3]
D Bm G
Crown Him the Lord of peace!
D G A D A
Whose hand a scep-ter sways
D A Bm D E Bm A
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
E7 A D E A
And all be prayer and praise;
A7 D A7 D G
His reigh shall know no end,
B7 E D E A
And round His pierc-ed feet
A7 D G D Em7 A D
Fair flowers of Par-a-dies ex-tend,
G D Asus4 A7 D
Their fra-grance ev - er sweet.
[Verse 4]
D Bm G
Crown Him the Lord of years,
D G A D A
The poten-tate of time,
D A Bm D E Bm A
Cre-a-tor of the roll-ing spheres,
E7 A D E A
In-ef-fa-bly sub-lime!
A7 D A7 D G
All hail! Re-deem-er, hail!
B7 E D E A
For Thou hast died for me;
A7 D G D Em7 A D
Thy praise shall nev-er, nev-er fail
G D Asus4 A7 D
Through-out e-ter - ni-ty.
