The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 ‎#165

165. 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:
Ev'ry knee to Him shall bow!

Refrain:
Crown Him! crown Him! angels crown Him!
Crown the Savior King of kings!
Crown Him! crown Him! angels, crown Him!
Crown the Savior King of kings!

2 Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Savior’s claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own His title, praise His name. [Refrain]

3 Hark the bursts of acclamation!
Hark those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station:
O what joy the sight affords! [Refrain]
