(C, Bb, C, Bb)
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.
