Crown Him
Chris Tomlin & Matt Redman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 me
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity
Majesty, Lord of all
Let every throne before Him fall
The King of kings, O come adore
Our God who reigns forever more
Crown Him 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
Majesty, Lord of all
Let every throne before Him fall
The King of kings, O come adore
Our God who reigns forever more, forever more
All hail, Redeemer, hail
For He has died for me
His praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity
Majesty, Lord of all
Let every throne before Him fall
The King of kings, O come adore
Our God who reigns forever more, forever more
The song "Crown Him" is a beautiful and powerful hymn that praises Jesus Christ as the King of all kings and Lord of all lords. The first verse begins with the imagery of a lamb, which represents Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb of God who died for our sins. The heavenly anthem that drowns out all other sounds is a reminder of the majesty and sovereignty of God, and our unique ability as humans to lift our voices in worship to Him. The chorus highlights the theme of majesty, and encourages everyone to bow down before the King of kings and adore Him. The second verse speaks to the power of Jesus over death, as He triumphed over the grave and rose victorious to bring eternal life to those who believe in Him. Throughout the entire song, there is an emphasis on the eternal nature of Christ's reign, and the hope we have as believers in a God who reigns forever.
The lyrics of "Crown Him" were written in 1851 by Matthew Bridges, a British hymn writer and poet. The music was composed later by Sir George J. Elvey, an English organist and composer. The song was originally called "Crown Him with Many Crowns," after the first line of the lyrics. Over the years, several additional verses have been added to the original hymn.
