1. Crown Him the Lord of Heaven!
All men your hearts employ!
His sight the faith of the forgiven,
His nearness all their joy!
A Sabbath rest remains
for those who will endure
to hymn the King in holy strains
of praise forevermore!
2. Crown Him the Lord of War,
Who trains His children’s hands,
To wield in prayer His Holy Pow’r,
And set immortal bands.
The army of His claimed,
Eyes closed on bended knee.
Marches forward in His Name,
To certain victory!
3. Crown Him the Bridegroom, fair,
whose promised virgin bride
once purchased, gently now prepared,
will evermore abide
to grace her Husband’s head
with all her charms, endowed
by Him who for her virtue bled
with sacred mantle bowed.
4. Crown Him the Living Word
by whom all worlds are wrought;
dividing as a naked sword,
divining heart and thought.
That great Amen shall shake,
shall split the lab'ring Earth,
bend every knee for His Name’s sake
to rule by sovereign worth.
5. Crown Him the Lord of Beasts,
that Lion once foretold
to spring from Judah’s loins, the least
and greatest to enfold:
Leviathan He made
to sport upon the sea;
the sparrow He His Father’s aid
doth give, and cares for me.
6. Crown Him the Lord of Earth
established from of old,
whose massive rocks and rolling girth
His Word does yet uphold!
He sends the sun and rain,
He man and beast doth feed,
the elements doth wisely train
to serve them in their need.
7. Crown Him the Lord of Wrath,
His justice rebels’ doom.
Vainglorious idols raisèd hath
aroused Him to consume
false flesh and fallen lights
in zeal for His own Name
with everlasting empty night
and never-failing flame.
8. Crown Him the corner-stone
whose covenant endures.
Whose oath relies on Him alone,
and promise reassures
those sons of faith, preserved
‘til proved of more than gold;
Salvation, full and undeserved,
His vow from ages old.
9. Crown Him the Lord of Men:
their tribes and peoples all,
who friend or foe shall see Him then
and at His feet shall fall,
when comes He to redress
to all men what is due,
to sit in glorious righteousness
and judge with justice true!
10. Crown Him the Lord of Rest,
Our calm amidst the storm,
The Living Fire inside the breast,
To keep the saint’s heart warm.
The world’s tempest rage,
Cannot prevail our Shield,
A Refuge firm for every Age,
To which all furies yield.
11. Crown Him the Lord of heav'n,
which throne befits His rule;
whence all dominion e'er is giv'n
below, on Earth His stool.
Bless Him, ye priestly race!
His all-authority
ordains the mystery of grace
that crowns His majesty.
12. Crown Him the Righteous Judge!
His justice swift and true.
From those whose hearts grace could not budge,
A recompense is due.
The Cross our hope alone,
We join to Him Who died,
For our sin did our Lord atone,
We rise His justified.
13. Crown Him the Lord of Floods
whose limits He did write,
and quiets them that tenderest buds
may grow to glory bright,
and by the mightiest storms
drives men to mind His will;
He cleanses who humbly reforms;
who thirsts, will more than fill.
14. Crown Him the Lord of Joy,
who rules our Sabbath rest.
All blessings toil in His employ
whose saints, unceasing blest,
lay down their striving vain,
take up the yoke of praise,
ere they by alms of grace attain
delight of endless days.
15. Crown Him the Lord of heaven,
His hands built Creation,
And sustain ‘til the Day is given,
When matter is undone,
Creation sings and yearns,
Deeper than words construe,
Hast’ning the Day that He returns,
And all things are made new.
16. Crown Him the Lord of Truth,
Who knows all that could be,
Omniscient of both all that is,
And all potentially.
His words transcend all time,
Forever resolute,
Sacred, clear, pure, and sublime,
Not subject to refute.
17. Crown Him the Holy King,
Let Israel exult,
Bearing high holy praise to sing,
And two-edged swords to cull.
His vengeance on nations,
The judgment writ made right,
An honor for the godly ones,
Those holy in His sight.
18. Crown Him the Lord of Fire
and Winds, His servants fleet:
they to and fro in gust and gyre
His orders all complete:
to warm the faithful heart,
to stir upon the way,
to prove the hopeful builder’s art
against the coming Day.
