1 See the cross, where the Saviour was crucified,
See the blood, shed for sinners when Jesus died,
Hear the song that the ransom’d in heaven sing,
See the crown on the head of our Saviour King.
Refrain:
Jesus is living in glory,
The King of the Ages is he,
When he shall come in his kingdom,
For ever with him we shall be,
Happy with him ev’ry moment,
Joyful the praises we sing,
And the Christ who once died to redeem us,
We will now crown our King.
2 See the tomb, where the King of the Ages lay,
See the stone, by the angels once roll’d away,
He is ris’n, with his praises the heavens ring,
See the crown on the head of our Saviour King. [Refrain]
3 See the throne, where he sits by the Father’s side,
Praying there for the dear ones for whom he died;
Heart and life to his service we gladly bring,
Place a crown on the head of our Saviour King. [Refrain]
