The story behind the tibulos or bo
bo, story of the hymn A Cristo

2
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:33.119
Coronat. To Christ Coronad, divine
savior, seated in high majesty, is

3
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:38.320
worthy of praise, to the king
of glory and peace. Lords pay and

4
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:49.960
bless the immortal for all eternity.
As originally, this hymn was known as

5
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:55.240
the Seraphim Hymn and consisted of six
stanzas, it became widely known throughout the

6
00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:03.399
religious realm of its time. Christ
Coronat was originally written in one thousand eight

7
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.319
hundred and fifty- one by the
English poet Matthew Bridges. Christ Coronat is

8
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.079
one of the most emblematic hymns of
the world Evangelical community, because he confirms

9
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:19.079
the triumphal return of our Lord Jesus
Christ to earth. This revelation, included

10
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.439
in The Book of Revelation, is
the main essence of this centenary song,

11
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:29.680
which has endless versions that resonate around
the planet in the present and account for

12
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:38.120
the prompt coming of the king of
kings and lord of lords. The original

13
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.439
verses of Christ Coronat appeared after the
eruption of the Oxford Movement, which prompted

14
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.959
in the United Kingdom, the recovery
of the oldest religious traditions, were written

15
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:53.920
by Bridges on the basis of the
biblical passage Revelation nineteen. Twelve later,

16
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:59.120
in one thousand eight hundred and fifty- two, when the first stage of

17
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.239
Queen Victoria' s two vast Kingdom
of over sixty years was completed, they

18
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:07.200
were included in a volume of poems
about Jesus' passion, with the first

19
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:15.080
title of the Seraphim song. After
gaining renown and repercussion in the British Isles

20
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.639
in one thousand eight hundred and seventy- four. Bridges' hymn was rewritten

21
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:24.919
by the Anglican priest Gothree Treng who, according to various historical versions, combined

22
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.360
it with stanzas of his authorship with
the intention of giving it greater spiritual value.

23
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:36.080
He was concerned that this popular hymn
was allowing Catholic theology to be preached

24
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:42.319
to Protestant churches, so he wrote
six other stanzas based on Protestant theology to

25
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:49.840
replace some that alluded to the Virgin
Mary. Thus, and in the opinion

26
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.199
of Christian musicologists, what is now
held in most evangelical hymnaries is a perfect

27
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:59.599
combination of the work of both men
of faith or Christ coronat is one of

28
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:06.840
the most majestic hymns that speak of
Christ' s coronation as king of the Universe.
