The story behind the tibulos or bo bo, story of the hymn A Cristo
Coronat. To Christ Coronad, divine savior, seated in high majesty, is
worthy of praise, to the king of glory and peace. Lords pay and
bless the immortal for all eternity. As originally, this hymn was known as
the Seraphim Hymn and consisted of six stanzas, it became widely known throughout the
religious realm of its time. Christ Coronat was originally written in one thousand eight
hundred and fifty- one by the English poet Matthew Bridges. Christ Coronat is
one of the most emblematic hymns of the world Evangelical community, because he confirms
the triumphal return of our Lord Jesus Christ to earth. This revelation, included
in The Book of Revelation, is the main essence of this centenary song,
which has endless versions that resonate around the planet in the present and account for
the prompt coming of the king of kings and lord of lords. The original
verses of Christ Coronat appeared after the eruption of the Oxford Movement, which prompted
in the United Kingdom, the recovery of the oldest religious traditions, were written
by Bridges on the basis of the biblical passage Revelation nineteen. Twelve later,
in one thousand eight hundred and fifty- two, when the first stage of
Queen Victoria' s two vast Kingdom of over sixty years was completed, they
were included in a volume of poems about Jesus' passion, with the first
title of the Seraphim song. After gaining renown and repercussion in the British Isles
in one thousand eight hundred and seventy- four. Bridges' hymn was rewritten
by the Anglican priest Gothree Treng who, according to various historical versions, combined
it with stanzas of his authorship with the intention of giving it greater spiritual value.
He was concerned that this popular hymn was allowing Catholic theology to be preached
to Protestant churches, so he wrote six other stanzas based on Protestant theology to
replace some that alluded to the Virgin Mary. Thus, and in the opinion
of Christian musicologists, what is now held in most evangelical hymnaries is a perfect
combination of the work of both men of faith or Christ coronat is one of
the most majestic hymns that speak of Christ' s coronation as king of the Universe.
