Sing Joyfully ‎#284

284. Look, Ye Saints! the Sight Is Glorious

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! 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 Him, crown Him!
Crown the Savior King of kings.

3 Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Savior's claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own His title, praise His name:
Crown Him, crown Him! 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! crown Him, crown Him!
King of kings, and Lord of lords.
