Lyics

Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious; 

See the Man of sorrows now;

From the fight returu'd victorious,

Ev'ry knee to him shall bow.

Crown him, crown him;

Crowns become the victor's brow,

Crowns become the victor's brow.



Crown the Saviour, angels crown him;

Rich the trophies Jesus brings;

In the seat of power enthrone him,

While the heavenly concave rings.

Crown him, crown him; 

Crown the Saviour King of kings,

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,

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,

King of kings, and Lord of lords.
