Opening Hymn

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 angels in the sky
can fully bear that sight,
but downward bends their 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 piercèd feet,
fair flowers of Paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.

4 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.

Liturgy of the Eucharist

 

Offertory Hymn

O Thou, who at thy Eucharist didst pray
That all thy Church might be for ever one,
Grant us at every Eucharist to say
With longing heart and soul, ‘Thy will be done.’
O may we all one Bread, one Body be,
One through this Sacrament of unity.

2 For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede;
Make thou our sad divisions soon to cease;
Draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
By drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace.
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be,
One through this Sacrament of unity.

3 We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold;
O bring them back, good Shepherd of the sheep,
Back to the faith which saints believed of old,
Back to the Church which still that faith doth keep.
Soon may we all one Bread, one Body be,
One through this Sacrament of unity.

4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,
May we be one with all thy Church above,
One with your saints in one unbroken peace,
One with your saints in one unbounded love.
More blessed still, in peace and love to be
One with the Trintiy in Unity.

 

 

Final Hymn

1 All hail the power of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all.
And crown him, crown him, crown him,
Crown him Lord of all!

2 Crown him, ye morning stars of light,

Who fixed this floating ball;

Now hail the Strength of Israel’s might,

And crown him, crown him, crown him,
Crown him Lord of all!

 

3 Crown him, ye martyrs of your God,

Whom from his altar call;

Praise him whose way of pain ye trod,

And crown him, crown him, crown him,
Crown him Lord of all!

4 Ye seed of Israel’s chosen race
Ye ransomed of the fall,
hail him who saves you by his grace,
And crown him, crown him, crown him,
Crown him Lord of all!

5 Let every tribe and every tongue
To him their hearts enthral,
Lift high the universal song,

And crown him, crown him, crown him,
Crown him Lord of all!
