The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 516 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18 Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned 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. Topics: Christ Risen Ascension; Christian Year Ascension; Communion of Saints; Jesus cross Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS (NOTTINGHAM)

Nature with Open Volume Stands
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 147 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:24 Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands
to spread her Maker's praise abroad;
and ev'ry labor of his hands
shows something worthy of a God.
2 But in the grace that saved the world
his brightest form of glory shines;
see on the cross the tale unfold,
in precious blood, and crimson lines.
3 Here his whole name appears complete,
nor wit can guess, nor reason prove,
which of the letters best is writ,
the power, the wisdom, or the love.
4 O the sweet wonders of that cross
where Christ my Savior loved and died!
Her noblest life my spirit draws
from his dear wounds and bleeding side.
5 I would forever speak his name
in sounds to mortal ears unknown,
with angels join to praise the Lamb,
and worship at his Father's throne.

The Cross
Author: Lucy M. Lewis Meter: 7.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18 First Line: Oh, the cross! the precious cross! Lyrics: 1 Oh, the cross! the precious cross!
’Twas there I counted all but loss;
’Twas there I gave my heart to God,
’Twas there He washed me in His blood,
And spake the words, “Thy sins forgiv’n,”
And filled my soul with peace from heav’n.
2 Oh, the cross! the precious cross!
The only way for sinners lost,
The only way that we can gain
An entrance to this heav’nly plane;
’Twas there my night was turned to day,
’Twas there I found the heav’nly way.
3 Oh, the cross! the precious cross!
’Twas there I counted well the cost,
’Twas there my soul was sanctified,
’Tis there I ever will abide;
’Tis there we find the purest gold,
And joys that never can be told.
4 Oh, the cross! the precious cross!
To me this world is naught but dross,
Far richer treasures now I own,
While up the shining way I run;
When in that heav’nly land I’ll see
The One who bore the cross for me. Used With Tune: [Oh, the cross! the precious cross!] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/The_Cross); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (171); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Select Hymns, 1911 (506)

Let angels prostrate fall;

2 Hail him, the heir of David's line,
whom David Lord did call,
the God incarnate, life divine,
and crown him Lord of all;
the God incarnate, life divine,
and crown him Lord of all.

delivered from the fall,
to Christ all majesty ascribe,

we at his feet may fall,
lift high the universal song,
and crown him Lord of all;
lift high the universal song,
and crown him Lord of all.

We sing the praise of him who died
Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 193 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope though all deride --
for this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, 'God is love';
he bears our sins upon the tree;
he brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross! it takes our guilt away;
and holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup;
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light;
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heaven above. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Courage; Jesus cross Used With Tune: WALTON (FULDA)

Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 533 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:17-25 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I long to take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land,
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat
and the burdens of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus,
my eye at times can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me.
And from my contrite heart, with tears,
two wonders I confess:
the wonder of his glorious love
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, your shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine
than the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all, the cross.
