Crown Him with Many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894; Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: HOP2015 #179 (2015) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Person Name: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894 Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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. 3 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified; no angels in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bend their burning eyes at mysteries so bright. 4 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. Topics: Easter Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light; the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above, while mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth, and praises sing to God the King, and peace to all on earth. 3 How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin, where meek souls will receive him still the dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray; cast out our sin, and enter in; be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel! Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Hymnal: HOP2015 #162 (2015) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Person Name: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I long to take my stand-- the shadow of a mighty Rock within a weary land, a home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, from the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day. 2 Upon that cross of Jesus my eyes at times can see the very dying form of One who suffered there for me; and from my smitten heart with tears two wonders I confess-- the wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, your shadow for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of his face, content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss, my sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.
