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 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 burning eye at mysteries so bright. 3 Crown him the Lord of peace, whose pow'r a scepter sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, absorbed in prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, and round his pierced feet fair flow'rs 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 this form — the Infinite, who lives and loves and saves. --- Spanish - 1 A Cristo coronad, divino Salvador, sentado en alta majestad, es digno de loor; al Rey de gloria y paz loores tributad, y bendecidle al Inmortal por la eternidad. 2 A Cristo coronad, Señor de vida y luz; con alabanzas proclamad los triunfos de la cruz. A él sólo adorad, Señor de salvación; loor eterno tributad de todo corazón. 3 A Cristo coronad pues grande es su poder. Sus santos todos entonad canciones de loor. Es Rey de vida y paz por la eternidad. Su vida dio y nos salvó; su nombre venerad. 4 A Cristo coronad Señor de nuestro amor, al Rey triunfante celebrad, glorioso Vencedor; potente Rey de paz el triunfo consumó y por su muerte de dolor, su gran amor mostró. --- French - 1 À l'Agneau sur son trône, apportons la couronne! Il l'a conquise sur la croix; il est le Roi des rois! Éveille-toi mon âme. Bénis, adore, acclame avec tous les anges du ciel, Jésus, Emmanuel. 2 Il eut la croix pour trône, l'épine pour couronne! Mais le Père a glorifié son Fils crucifié. Au prince de la vie, la mort est asservie; hors de la tombe il est monté; Christ est ressuscité. 3 À l'Agneau tous les trône, la palme et la couronne. Car il est le Prince de paix, il règne désormais. Les fureurs de la guerre s'éteindront sur la terre, où renaitront comme jadis, les fleurs du paradis. 4 À l'Agneau tous les trônes, et toutes les couronnes! Il est le Maître souverain, les temps sont en sa main. Rendons l'honneur suprême à ce Dieu qui nous aime, et qui revient victorieux pour nous ouvrir les cieux.
