Crown Him with Many Crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #202 (1908) Topics: CROSS--CROWN First Line: Crown Him with many crowns 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,
Thro' all eternity.
2 Crown Him, the Lord of love!
Behold His hands and side,--
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified;
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his wond'ring eye
At mysteries so bright.
3 Crown Him, the Lord of life!
Who triumph'd o'er the grave;
And rose victorious in 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.
4 Crown Him, the Lord of heav'n,
One with the Father known,
One with the Spirit thro' Him giv'n
From yonder glorious throne;
To Thee be endless praise,
For Thou for us hast died;
Be Thou, O Lord, thro' endless days
Adored and magnified. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

The mystery of His love.

Though shame and death to Him;
His people's hope, His people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PAUL

Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!
Author: Dr. George Duffield, 1818-1888 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #390b (1917) Topics: Crown Lyrics: 1 Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!
Ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high His royal banner;
It must not suffer loss;
From victory unto victory
His army will He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.
2 Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict
In this His glorious day:
Ye that are men now serve Him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.
3 Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you;
Ye dare not trust your own:
Put on the gospel armour,
And, watching unto prayer,
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.
4 Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor's song:
To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory
Shall reign eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: WEBB

Let Our Choir New Anthems Raise
Author: Joseph the Hymnographer, ca. 800-883; John Mason Neale; John Mason Neale Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #407 (2018) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Crown of Life Lyrics: 1 Let our choir new anthems raise,
wake the morn with gladness;
God himself to joy and praise
turns the martyrs' sadness:
bright the day that won their crown,
opened heav'n's bright portal,
as they laid the mortal down
and put on th'immortal.
2 Never flinched they from the flame,
from the torture never;
vain the foeman's sharpest aim,
Satan's best endeavor:
for by faith they saw the land
decked in all its glory,
where triumphant now they stand
with the victor's story.
3 Faith they had that knew not shame,
love that could not languish;
and eternal hope o'ercame
momentary anguish.
Up and follow, Christian men!
Press through toil and sorrow;
spurn the night of fear and then,
O the glorious morrow! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:53 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. KEVIN

One Sweetly Solemn Thought
Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #454 (1934) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Crown Of The Christian Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o’er and o’er:
Nearer my home am I today
Than e’er I’ve been before.
2 Nearer my Father’s house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer my Savior's glorious throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer, to leave the heavy cross,
Nearer, to gain the crown.
4 But, lying dark between,
Winding down through the night,
There rolls the deep and unknown stream
Beyond which shines the light.
5 Father, perfect my trust!
Strengthen my power of faith!
And let me lean on Christ alone
Upon the shore of death. Languages: English Tune Title: AMBROSE (DULCE DOMUM)

Fill thy weak soul with vain alarm;
His strength shall bear thy spirit up,
And brace thy hear,t and nerve thine arm.

And let thy foolish pride be still;
Thy Lord refused not e'en to die
Upon a cross, on Calv'ry's hill.

And calmly sin's wild deluge brave;
'Twill guide thee to a better home,

Nor think till death to lay it down;
For only he who bears the cross
May hope to wear the glorious crown.
