The head that once was crowned with thorns

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769 - 1854 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #439 (1958) Topics: The Church Worship - The Beginning of Service 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.
