     6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.(KJV)

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 wondering eye 
At mysteries so bright! 

4. 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. 

5. Crown Him the Lord of Heaven, 
Enthroned in worlds above, 
Crown Him the King to whom is given 
The wondrous name of Love. 
Crown Him with many crowns 
As thrones before Him fall; 
Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns 
For He is King of all.
