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 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! 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! Topics: Ascension Scripture: Isaiah 53:3 Used With Tune: ST AUDREY
