Lyrics:
He ran before the Promised One,
Prepared the way for Him.
He echoed in the wilderness,
“Repent of all your sin!”
Though many would admire one
Who drew a mighty crowd,
He hid behind the Worthy One
To Whom the earth will bow.
“I must decrease,” he said.
“Don't look at me,” he pled.
I am unworthy His shoes to carry –
Worship Jesus instead!
Chorus:
He must, He must, He must increase!
My dusty frame will pass away,
So let these lips repeat:
He must, He must, He must increase!
While ages pass, His name will last,
His fame will never cease.
So He must, He must, He must increase!
They win us with their eloquence,
They woo us with their charm.
The talented, the brilliant
Draw many from afar.
Yet even they who own the stage
Are made of fragile dust.
Both great and small will give our God
The praises due from us.
So let the world go dim
And feast your eyes on Him,
And lift Him higher! Come, join the choir!
Worship Jesus Your King!
* Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne.
Hark! How the heavenly 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 with Many Crowns” by Matthew Bridges & Godfrey Thring
