60. The King of Love

1 Crown Jesus with the fairest crown
That e’er adorned a brow!
Let kings and captains of renown
Before him humbly bow;
We hail this King who reins above,
The King of love, the King of love.

Chorus:
O let his praise be magnified!
For us he lived, for us he died;
For us he intercedes above,
The King of love, the King of love.

2 Behold his hands and wounded side,
The nail-prints in his feet;
Those marks of suff’ring yet abide,
And tell of love complete.
His scars remain, and now, above,
They mark him as the King of love. [Chorus]

3 His kindly reign shall have no end,
And round his comely feet
Lie crowns of those whose voices blend
In praises full and sweet:
All saints and angels thus, above,
Proclaim him as the King of love. [Chorus]
