"Crown him with many crowns", St. Bartholomew's Church

#494 from The Hymnal 1982: Closing Hymn for the Seventh Sunday of Easter ("Sunday after Ascension Day") at St. Bartholomew's, an Episcopal church in New York City on June 5, 2011. The words of this joyous coronation hymn were written by Matthew Bridges in the 19th century, and set to the tune of 'Diademata', composed by George Job Elvey, with a descant by Richard Proulx. The tune shares its ending with "Valet will ich dir geben" ("All glory, laud, and honor"). The poetry of this hymn is worth a brief analysis. Each stanza begins with a title of Christ with which he is to be crowned. The soaring melody expands upon the reasons behind the royal titles. The hymn ends with a beautiful recall of the opening. This hymn is often sung to an upbeat tempo to reflect the joy of the words, and so it should be, but I like this slower performance of it; it evokes a dignified, royal procession and arguably encourages a deeper reflection on what it means to crown Christ. In Spanish, the hymn can be found as "Al Salvador Jesús (canciones por doquier)", and in Danish "Kron ham til harpers klang".
