Text: | Look, Ye Saints! The Sight is Glorious |
Author: | Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 |
Tune: | CORONAE |
Composer: | William H. Monk, 1823-1889 |
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!
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 the Savior 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!
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!
King of kings, and Lord of lords!
Amen.
