Crown Jesus as your King

As Holy Week continues, may we reflect on the words of the hymn “Crown him with many crowns”. In three days Jesus wore two crowns: a crown of thorns and the crown of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 

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 your chosen king

through all eternity.

 

Crown him the Lord of love;

behold his hands and side,

those wounds yet visible above

in beauty glorified:

no angel there on high

can fully bear that sight,

but downward bends his burning eye

at mysteries so bright.

 

Crown him the Lord of life,

who triumphed 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.

 

With hope and joy,
