Author: Kelly Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #244 (1873) Hymnal Title: The Voice of Praise 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;
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 heavenly concave rings:
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;
Spread abroad the Victor's fame.
4 Hark! those burst of acclamation!
Hark! those loud, triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station;
Oh, what joy the sight affords!
Crown him, crown him,
King of kings and Lord of lords. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; Coronation of the King of Kings
