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. Sinners in derision crown’d 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!
