CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS

good

Crown Him with many crowns as thrones before Him fall. Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, for He is King of all.

AMEN!

Crown Him the Lord of Peace will ever be my second favorite...right after the Lord of Love :D

and then the best one, which always leaves me in tears:

Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime!
All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou has died for me;
Thy praise shall never, never fail through all eternity.

Noo... they missed out the 2nd half of the penultimate verse and the best bit of the final verse! It should be:

Crown Him the Lord of love, behold His hands and side,
Those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified.
No angel in the height can fully bear the sight,
Yet downward bends His burning eye at mysteries so bright.

Knowing that God is the true king and it is really Him that has control over all the nations gives me hope whenever I get upset thinking about the ungodliness of presidents and kings who rule over the nations today. We won't have to put up with their bad choices forever. Their rule will come to an end eventually. God is gonna be the only ruler in the end. Thank goodness!

Do you even understand how little sense that makes? You say god rules the nations, then you say that it is the ungodly kings and presidents who rule. Which is it? If it is god, why would he allow this evil at all? No loving being would allow such horror as plagues this planet to continue, not if it could intervene to help. There are only two options that present themselves, that your god is callous and vicious, or that he is not there at all.

Absolutely beautiful!! Praise Jesus forever!!

This hymn brings me to tears just about every time I hear it. Not only are the tune and text absolutely beautiful, they are so true. With all due respect to the Mormon people (many who are very good folk), I do not believe that the people singing this beautiful arrangement of this song truly grasp the meaning of the words that they are singing. I pray that some day before each of them dies that they do.
