Lyics

Look, ye saints! the sight is glorious:

See the man of sorrows now,

From the fight returned victorious;

Every knee to him shall bow.  Chorus.



Crown the Saviour, angels! crown him:

Rich the trophies Jesus brings:

In the seat of power enthrone him,

While the vault of heaven rings.



Sinners in derision crowned him,

Mocking thus the Saviour's claim:

Saints and angels! crowd around him,

Own his title, praise his name:



Hark! those bursts of acclamation!

Hark! those loud triumphant chords!

Jesus takes the highest station;

Oh! what joy the sight affords!
