C              Am   F           C     Dm      G
Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne
     C       Am       D      G                Dsus    G
Hark how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own
 C                F        D                G
Awake my soul and sing, of Him who died for thee,
    C        F      Dm        C            F    G   (C, Bb, C, Bb)
And hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity.
C             Am      F       C        Dm        G
Crown Him the Lord of love, behold His hands and side
     C          Am  D    G               Dsus G
Rich wounds yet visible above, in beauty glorified
   C            F        D               G
No angel in the sky, can fully bear that sight,
    C        F         Dm        C       F     G      C           A7
But downward bends His wondering eye, at mysteries so bright    (Mod.)
D             Bm      G         D         Em       A
Crown Him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave
    D       Bm      E      A                    Esus    A
Who rose victorious to the strife, for those He came to save
    D              G         E                A
His glories now we sing, who died and rose on high
    D     G      Em      D          G          A         (D, C, D, C)
Who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die.
 D                G        E                A
Awake my soul and sing, of Him who died for thee,
    D        G      Em        D            G    A    (D, C, D, C)
And hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity.
