A purple robe, a crown of thorn

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #122 (1987) Topics: Christ the Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 A purple robe, a crown of thorn, a reed in his right hand; before the soldiers’ spite and scorn I see my saviour stand. 2 He bears between the Roman guard the weight of all our woe; a stumbling figure, bowed and scarred I see my saviour go. 3 Fast to the cross's spreading span, high in the sunlit air, all the unnumbered sins of man I see my saviour bear. 4 He hangs, by whom the world was made, beneath the darkened sky; the everlasting ransom paid, I see my saviour die. 5 He shares on high his Father’s throne who once in mercy came; for all his love to sinners shown I sing my saviour’s name.

My Lord, you wore no royal crown

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #118 (1987) Topics: Christ the Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 My Lord, you wore no royal crown; you did not wield the powers of state, nor did you need a scholar's gown or priestly robe, to make you great. 2 You never used a killer's sword to end an unjust tyranny; your only weapon was your word, for truth alone could set us free. 3 You did not live a world away in hermit's cell or desert cave, but felt our pain and shared each day with those you came to seek and save. 4 You made no mean or cunning move, chose no unworthy compromise, but carved a track of burning love through tangles of deceit and lies. 5 You came unequaled, undeserved, to be what I was meant to be; you came to serve, not to be served; a light for all the world to see. 6 So when I stumble, set me right; command my life as you require; let all your gifts be my delight and you, my Lord, my one desire.
