Look, Ye Saints, the Sight Is Glorious

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 541 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:28-29 Lyrics: 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. Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crowns become the Victor's brow. 2. Crown the Savior, angels, crown him, rich the triumphs Jesus brings; in the seat of pow'r enthrone him while the vault of heaven rings: Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown the Savior King of kings. 3. Sinners in derision crowned him, mocking thus the Savior's claim; saints and angels throng around him, own his title, praise his name. Crown him! Crown him! 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! Crown him! Crown him! King of kings, and Lord of lords! Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY

Throned Upon the Awful Tree

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:46 Lyrics: 1 Throned upon the awful tree, Lamb of God, Your grief I see. Darkness veils Your anguished face; None its lines of woe can trace. None can tell what pangs unknown Hold You silent and alone-- 2 Silent through those three dread hours, Wrestling with the evil powers, Left alone with human sin, Gloom around You and within, Till the appointed time is nigh, Til the Lamb of God may die. 3 Hark, that cry that peals aloud Upward through the whelming cloud! You, the Father’s only Son, You, His own anointed one, You are asking--can it be -- “Why have You forsaken Me?” 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll, Flooding o’er my sinful soul, You, who once were thus bereft That Your own might ne’er be left, Teach me by that bitter cry In the gloom to know You nigh.

My Lord, all grace supplying, O turn your face on me! 3 Your sinless soul's oppression was all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but yours the deadly pain: I bow my head, my Saviour, for I deserve your place; O grant to me your favour, and heal me by your grace. 4 What language shall I borrow to thank you, dearest Friend, for this your dying sorrow, your mercy without end? Lord, make me yours for ever: your servant let me be; and may I never, never betray your love for me. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: rev.
