Rich the trophies that He brings; In the seat of power enthrone Him, While the vault of Heaven rings. Crown Him, crown Him, 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, 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; O, what joy the sight affords! Crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, crown Him: King of kings, and Lord of lords. Amen.

Amen. Topics: Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Birth of; Christ Deity of; Christ Messiah; Christ Praise of; Prophecy Fulfilled Scripture: John 1:14 Used With Tune: PRAISE, MY SOUL
