New Song: Crown Him With Many Crowns

Okay, so this isn't really a "new" song at all. It's an old hymn written in 1852. This hymn celebrates Jesus' divinity and kingship. Each verse talks about a different aspect of Christ: "The Sacrificial Lamb," "The Lord of Life," "The Lord of Love," and "The Lord of Heaven."

It's a simple and memorable melody that is full of energy, and I know we'll enjoy singing it together.

Here's a video of the song from the Resolved Conference that I played at in June with the band Enfield.

Here are the lyrics:
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 Lord of life
Who triumphed over the grave
And rose victorious to 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 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 bend His wond'ring eye
At mysteries so bright

Crown Him the Lord of heaven
Enthroned in worlds above
Crown Him the King to Whom is given
The wondrous name of Love
Crown Him with many crowns
As thrones before Him fall
Crown Him ye kings with many crowns
For He is King of all
