Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #439 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Scripture: Matthew 27:27-29 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! 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 him! crown him!
crown the Savior King of kings.
3 Sinners in derision crowned him,
mocked the dying Saviour'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 --
Oh, what joy the sight affords!
Crown him! crown him! crown him! crown him!
King of kings, and Lord of lords! Topics: Christ Risen Ascension; Christian Year Ascension Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious!
