Crown Him with Many Crowns Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark! How the heav’nly 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. 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 wond’ring eye At mysteries so bright. Crown Him the Lord of life! Who triumphed o’er the grave, Who 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. Crown Him the Lord of heav’n! One with the Father known, One with the Spirit through Him giv’n From yonder glorious throne, To Thee be endless praise, For Thou for us hast died; Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days Adored and magnified. --- Isaiah 53: 1 Who has believed what weve been saying? Who has seen the LORDs saving power? 2 His servant grew up like a tender young plant. He grew like a root coming up out of dry ground. He didnt have any beauty or majesty that made us notice him. There wasnt anything special about the way he looked that drew us to him. 3 Men looked down on him. They didnt accept him. He knew all about sorrow and suffering. He was like someone people turn their faces away from. We looked down on him. We didnt have any respect for him. 4 He suffered the things we should have suffered. He took on himself the pain that should have been ours. But we thought God was punishing him. We thought God was wounding him and making him suffer. 5 But the servant was pierced because we had sinned. He was crushed because we had done what was evil. He was punished to make us whole again. His wounds have healed us. 6 All of us are like sheep. We have wandered away from God. All of us have turned to our own way. And the LORD has placed on his servant the sins of all of us. 7 He was beaten down and made to suffer. But he didnt open his mouth. He was led away like a sheep to be killed. Lambs are silent while their wool is being cut off. In the same way, he didnt open his mouth. 8 He was arrested and sentenced to death. Then he was taken away. He was cut off from this life. He was punished for the sins of my people. Who among those who were living at that time could have understood those things? 9 He was given a grave with those who were evil. But his body was buried in the tomb of a rich man. He was killed even though he hadnt harmed anyone. And he had never lied to anyone. 10 The LORD says, It was my plan to crush him and cause him to suffer. I made his life a guilt offering to pay for sin. But he will see all of his children after him. In fact, he will continue to live. My plan will be brought about through him. 11 After he suffers, he will see the light that leads to life. And he will be satisfied. My godly servant will make many people godly because of what he will accomplish. He will be punished for their sins. 12 So I will give him a place of honor among those who are great. He will be rewarded just like others who win the battle. That is because he was willing to give his life as a sacrifice. He was counted among those who had committed crimes. He took the sins of many people on himself. And he gave his life for those who had done what is wrong.

Trust in God. Trust in me also. 2 There are many rooms in my Fathers house. If this were not true, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and do that, I will come back. And I will take you to be with me. Then you will also be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going. Jesus Is the Way to the Father 5 Thomas said to him, Lord, we dont know where you are going. So how can we know the way? 6 Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father also. From now on, you do know him. And you have seen him.
