LyicsLOOK, ye saints:--the sight is glorious;--
See the man of sorrows now;
From the fight return'd victorious,
Every knee to him shall bow:
Crown him, crown him;
Crowns become the Victor's brow.
Crown the Saviour, angels, crown him;
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
In the seat of pow'r enthrone him,
While the heavenly concave rings:
Crown him, crown him;
Crown the Saviour King of kings.
Sinners in derision crown'd him,
Mocking thus the Saviour's claim:
Saints and angels crowd around him,
Own his title, praise his name:
Crown him, crown him;
Spread abroad the Victor's fame.
Hark! those bursts of acclamation!
Hark! those loud, triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station;
O, what joy the sight affords!
Crown him, crown him,
King of kings, and Lord of lords.
