African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#181

181. Look, Ye Saints! The Sight Is Glorious

1 Look, ye saints! the sight is glorious;
See the Man of Sorrows now;
From the fight returned victorious,
Every knee to Him shall bow:
Crown Him, Crown Him, Crown Him, Crown Him,
Crowns become the victor's brow,
Crowns become the victor's brow.

2 Crown the Savior, angels, crown Him;
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
In the seat of power enthrone Him,
While the vault of heaven rings:
Crown Him, Crown Him, Crown Him, Crown Him,
Crown the Savior King of kings,
Crown the Savior King of kings.

3 Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Savior's claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own His title, praise His name:
Crown Him, Crown Him, Crown Him, Crown Him,
Spread abroad the Victor's fame,
Spread abroad the Victor's fame.

4 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, Crown Him, Crown Him,
King of kings, and Lord of lords,
King of kings, and Lord of lords.

Amen.
