Crown Him With Many Crowns: Hymn Bible Study
Show notes
Why does the hymn "Crown Him With Many Crowns" picture Jesus wearing not one crown, but many? This episode is a hymn Bible study that opens Revelation 19 to uncover the scripture behind the hymn and why Christ's kingdom will never come to an end.
Written by Matthew Bridges in 1851, "Crown Him With Many Crowns" draws its imagery from Revelation 19:11-12, where the returning Christ is pictured wearing many crowns. We trace each "crown" named in the hymn — the Lord of Love, Lord of Peace, and Lord of Years — back to specific promises in Daniel 2:44, Luke 1:32-33, and the story of Thomas touching Christ's wounds in John 20. The core insight: Christ's kingdom endures forever not only because He is eternal, but because of the love He proved at Calvary.
In this episode, you will hear:
- How Revelation 19:11-12 pictures Jesus wearing "many crowns" at His return
- Why Daniel 2:44 and Luke 1:32-33 promise His kingdom will never end
- The story of Thomas and the wounds of Calvary behind "the Lord of Love"
- Why Christ's eternal reign rests on His character, not just His power
