Look, ye saints! The sight is glorious

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Appears in 540 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; In 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! 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! Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Resurrection and ascension

What though this earthly house shall fail, The Saviour’s power will yet prevail And build it up anew. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Resurrection and ascension

The winged squadrons of the sky Look down with sad and wondering eyes To see the approaching sacrifice. 4 Ride on, ride on in majesty! The last and fiercest strife is nigh; The Father on his sapphire throne Expects his own anointed Son. 5 Ride on, ride on in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die; Bow thy meek head to mortal pain, Then take, O God, thy power, and reign. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Resurrection and ascension

For thou hast died for me; Thy praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Kingdom
