8.7.8.7.4.7 [719]Coronae: William Henry Monk, 1871 [720]Victor's Crown: Horatio Parker, 1893 Thomas Kelly, 1809 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. Crown the Savior, angels crown Him; Rich the trophies Jesus brings; On the seat of power enthrone Him, While the vault of heaven rings; Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown the Savior King of kings. Sinners in derision crowned Him, Mocking thus Messiah's claim; Saints and angels crowd around Him, Own his title, praise his Name: Crown Him! Crown Him! Spread abroad the Victor's fame! 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! King of kings, and Lord of lords. |
