Part 251 (1/2)

Sinners in derision crowned Him, Mocking thus the Saviour's claim; Saints and angels crowd around Him, Own His t.i.tle, praise His Name: Crown Him, crown Him; Spread abroad the Victor's fame.

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; ”King of kings, and Lord of lords.”

--_Thomas Kelly_.

How the Lord Jesus spent His last days in Jerusalem, how He loved His friends unto the end, how He fell into the hands of His enemies, and how he crowned a life of service with a heroic death.
