Crown him with many crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-94 Hymnal: NEH1985 #352 (1986) Person Name: Matthew Bridges, 1800-94 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 Virgin's Son, The God incarnate born, Whose arm those crimson trophies won Which now his brow adorn: Fruit of the mystic Rose, As of that Rose the Stem; The Root whence mercy ever flows, The Babe of Bethlehem. 3 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 burning eye At mysteries so bright. 4 Crown Him the Lord of peace, Whose power a sceptre sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, Absorbed in prayer and praise: His reign shall know no end, And round his pierced feet Fair flowers of Paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, The Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime. Glassed in a sea of light, Where everlasting waves Reflect his throne--the Infinite! Who lives--and loves--and saves. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

Ah, holy Jesu, how hast thou offended

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; J. Heermann, 1585-1647 Hymnal: NEH1985 #62a (1986) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Person Name: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930 Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesu, how hast thou offended, That man to judge thee hath in hate pretended? By foes derided, by thine own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee? Alas, my treason, Jesu, hath undone thee. 'Twas I, Lord Jesu, I it was denied thee: I crucified thee. 3 Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; The slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered; For man's atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesu, was thy incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and thy life's oblation; Thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion, For my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesu, since I cannot pay thee, I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee, Think on thy pity and thy love unswerving, Not my deserving.

All my hope on God is founded

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; J. Neander, 1650-80 Hymnal: NEH1985 #333 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Person Name: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930 Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded; He doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, Only good and only true. God unknown, He alone Calls my heart to be his own. 2 Pride of man and earthly glory, Sword and crown betray his trust; What with care and toil he buildeth, Tower and temple, fall to dust But God's power, Hour by hour, Is my temple and my tower. 3 God's great goodness aye endureth, Deep his wisdom, passing thought: Splendour, light and life attend him, Beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore From his store New-born worlds rise and adore. 4 Daily doth th'Almighty giver Bounteous gifts on us bestow; His desire our soul delighteth, Pleasure leads us where we go. Love doth stand At his hand; Joy doth wait on his command. 5 Still from man to God eternal Sacrifice of praise be done, High above all praises praising For the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call One and all: Ye who follow shall not fall. Topics: The Christian Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: MICHAEL
