Opening Hymn: “Crown Him With Many Crowns” #327 UMH
Words: Matthew Bridges, 1851, and
Godfrey Thring, 1874
Music: George J. Elvery, 1868
 
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 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 peace,
whose power a scepter sways
from pole to pole, that wars may
cease, and all be prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end, and round
his pierced feet fair flowers of paradise
extend their fragrance ever sweet.
 
4.Crown him the Lord of love; behold his
hands and side, those wounds, yet visible
above, in beauty glorified.
All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast
died for me; thy praise and glory shall
not fail through-out eternity.

I’ll fly away, O glory, I’ll fly away.
When I die, hallelujah, by and by,
I’ll fly away.
 
1.Some glad morning when this life is o’er, I’ll fly away;
To a home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away.
Refrain
 
2.When the shadows of this life have gone, I’ll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown, I’ll fly away.

3.Just a few more wear days and then, I’ll fly away;
To a land where joys shall never end, I’ll fly away.
Refrain
