Text: | The head, that once was crown'd with thorns |
Author: | T. Kelly |
Tune: | ST. MAGNUS |
Composer: | J. Clark |
1 The head, that once was crown'd with thorns,
Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is His, is His by right,
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal Light.
3 The joy of all who dwell above;
The joy of all below,
To whom He manifests His love
And grants His Name to know.
4 To them the Cross with all its shame,
With all its grace is given;
Their name, an everlasting name,
Their joy, the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above,
Their profit and their joy to know
The mystery of His love.
6 The Cross He bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to Him:
His people's hope, His people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme.
