1 Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious:
See the Man of Sorrows now;
From the fight return’d victorious,
Ev’ry knee to Him shall bow:
Crown Him, Crown Him:
Crowns become the Victor’s brow.
2 Crown the Saviour’s 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 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 bursts 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.
