Crown him with many crowns by George J. Elvey — Lyrics
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 thy matchless king
through all eternity.
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.

About Crown him with many crowns
The text of this hymn paints a glorious vision of Christ’s enthronement in heaven, acclaimed by angelic hosts and celebrated for his triumph over death. The words move from his kingship and victory to his sacrifice and enduring love, inviting the singer to join the heavenly anthem and acknowledge his eternal reign. George J. Elvey’s music, set for SATB choir, offers a stirring setting of these profound theological concepts, suitable for services that focus on Christ’s majesty and redemptive work. The familiar English lyrics provide a clear and accessible expression of devotion and praise, making it a resonant choice for congregational or choir participation.
