273. 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.

2 Crown the Saviour, angels, crown Him!
Rich the trophies that He brings;
In the seat of power enthrone Him,
While the vault of Heaven rings.
Crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, crown Him:
Crown the Saviour King of kings.

3 Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Saviour'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.

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.

Amen.
