14604. Hail The King of Kings

3 1 In the hall of judgment, see the Savior stand,
Deadly pow’rs of darkness wait on every hand;
See the guarding sentry, hear the cruel word—
"Crucify Him! Crucify your king and Lord."

Refrain:
Hail Him, crown Him
King of kings. Ye nations rise,
Join the angels’ songs of praise
That fill the skies.

2 Oh, on Calvary’s brow, behold the Crucified;
See the cruel cross, the bleeding hands and side;
Oh, the grief and pain that paid the price of sin!
Oh, the wondrous love that sought the world to win. [Refrain]

See within the shadows gleam of angel wings,
Hear the heav’nly word that thro’ the silence rings;
Look within the tomb; behold the Savior rise,
Hail the risen One, the King of earth and skies. [Refrain]
