Christ the Lamb, whose blood was shed, Paschal victim, paschal bread! With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty victim from the sky, Pow'rs of hell beneath you lie; Death is broken in the fight, You have brought us life and light. Vict'ry's banner you now wave, Conqu'ring Satan and the grave; See the prince of darkness quelled, Heaven's gates are open held. 4 Easter triumph, Easter joy, Sin alone can these destroy; From sin's death now set us free: Souls reborn, O Lord, we'll be. Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto you we raise; And to you, our risen King, With the Spirit, praise we sing.

Crown Him with Many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges, 1800-1894; Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Appears in 798 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns, The Lamb upon his throne: Hark, how the heav'nly anthem drowns All music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing Of him who set us free, And hail him as our heav'nly 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 lords, Who over all does reign, Who once on earth, th'incarnate Word, For ransomed sinners slain, Now lives in realms of light, Where saints with angels sing Their songs before him day and night, Their God, Redeemer, King.
