See the Man of Sorrows now
From the fight returned victorious:
Ev'ry knee to Him shall bow!
Refrain:
Crown Him! crown Him! angels crown Him!
Crown the Savior King of kings!
Crown Him! crown Him! angels, crown Him!
Crown the Savior King of kings!
2 Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Savior’s claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own His title, praise His name. [Refrain]
3 Hark the bursts of acclamation!
Hark those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station:
O what joy the sight affords! [Refrain] Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Jesus Christ Divinity, Glory of Scripture: Revelation 19:12 Languages: English Tune Title: CROWN HIM
Look, Ye Saints, the Sight is Glorious
