Look, ye saints! the sight is glorious

Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 549 hymnals Lyrics: 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 Saviour! angels, crown Him! Rich the trophies Jesus brings; On the seat of power enthrone Him, While the vault of heaven rings; 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! Crowns become the Victor's brow. 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. Topics: The Church Year Ascension Used With Tune: CORONAE

Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent: Litany Hymns Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1,201 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, the Lord, is risen to-day, Sons of men and angels say; Raise your joys and triumphs high; Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply. Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won; Lo! the Sun's eclipse is o'er; Lo! He sets in blood no more. 2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Christ hath burst the gates of hell! Death in vain forbids His rise; Christ hath opened Paradise. Lives again our glorious King; Where, O death, is now Thy sting? Once He died our souls to save; Where thy victory, O grave? 3 Soar we now where Christ hath led, Following our exalted Head: Made like Him, like Him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to Thee by both be given; Thee we greet triumphant now: Hail, the Resurrection Thou! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE
