Crown him with many crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #137b (2000) Topics: Years A, B, and C Ascension Day Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne; hark, how the heav'nly 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. 2 Crown him the Virgin's Son, the God incarnate born, whose arm those crimson trophies won which now his brow adorn: Fruit of the mystic Rose, as of that Rose the Stem; the Root, whence mercy ever flows, the Babe of Bethlehem. 3 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 bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of peace, whose pow'r a sceptre sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, absorbed in prayer and praise: his reign shall know no end, and round his piercèd feet fair flow'rs of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Scripture: Daniel 7:9 Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

From Greenland's icy mountains

Author: Reginald Heber, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #163 (1908) Topics: Ascension Day Lyrics: 1 From Greenland’s icy mountains, From India’s coral strand; Where Afric’s sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand: From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error’s chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o’er Ceylon’s isle-- Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile: In vain, with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strewn; The heathen, in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted By wisdom from on high-- Shall we to those benighted the lamp of life deny? Salvation!--O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth’s remotest nation Has learned Messiah’s name. 4 Waft-- waft, ye winds, His story; And you, ye waters, roll Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole: Till o’er our ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, Returns in bliss to reign.

Spread, O spread, thou mighty Word

Author: Jonathan Friederich Bahnmeier; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #165 (1908) Topics: Ascension Day Lyrics: 1 Spread, O, spread, thou mighty Word, Spread the kingdom of the Lord, That in earth's remotest bound Men may hear thy joyful sound. Tell them how the Father's will Made the world, and keeps it still, How His only Son He gave, Man from sin and death to save. 2 Tell of our Redeemer's love, Who forever doth remove By His holy sacrifice All the guilt that on us lies. Tell them of the Spirit given As our guide through Christ to heaven, Strong and holy, just and true, Working both to will and do. 3 Word of Life! most pure and strong, Lo, for thee the nations long: Spread and banish by thy light Everywhere sin's dreary night. Up! the ripening fields we see, Mighty shall the harvest be; But the reapers still how few! Lord, send men Thy work to do. Languages: English Tune Title: BENEVENTO
