Crown Him (Morris)

Behold one day a won­drous scene:

There rode a man of low­ly mien

Along the dus­ty way

along the dus­ty way;

The peo­ple thronged Him as He passed

Palm branch­es in His way they cast

And cried

Ho­san­na to the King

to­day!

Crown Him! Crown Him!

Crown the Sav­ior King of kings;

In your hearts en­throne Him

Lord and mas­ter own Him;

Crown Him! Crown Him!

While heaven ex­ult­ant rings;

Crown the bless­èd Sav­ior King of kings.

He’s pass­ing by

just as of yore

And great and small and rich and poor

Today their Lord de­ny

to­day their Lord de­ny;

Oh

make of Him su­prem­est choice

And with up­lift­ed heart and voice

Hosanna to the King of kings still cry.

Soon He is com­ing back again

A thou­sand years on earth to reign;

We’ll see Him by and by

we’ll see Him by and by;

All the re­deem­ed with Him He’ll bring

Who in their hearts have crowned Him king

And they shall live and reign with Him on high.
