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:

4 Crown Him the Lord of years;

The Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres

Ineffably sublime:
All hail, Redeemer, hail!

For Thou hast died for me:
Thy praise shall never, never fail
Throughout eternity. Amen.

For ev - er shared, for ev - er whole, A nev - er eb-bing sea.

7 O Lord and Master of us all!

Whate'er our name or sign, We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call, We test our lives by Thine. Amen.

(d=112) One there is, a - bove all oth - ers, Well de - serves the name of Friend;

They, who once His kind-ness prove, Find it ev - er- last-ing love.

6 So come, my Sovereign! enter in!

Let new and nobler life begin!
Thy Holy Spirit, guide us on,
Until the glorious crown be won! Amen.
