The Head That Once Was Crowned

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 513 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:9 First Line: The Head that once was crowned with thorns 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 everlasting joy to know The wonder of His love. Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Resurrection and Ascension Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 419 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:5 First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown, When Thou camest to earth for me; But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room For Thy holy nativity. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word That should set Thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing, At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee." My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest and callest for me. Used With Tune: MARGARET

The humiliation, exaltation and triumphs of Christ

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:8-9 First Line: The mighty frame of glorious grace Lyrics: 1 The mighty frame of glorious grace, That brightest monument of praise That e'er the God of love design'd, Employs and fills my laboring mind. 2 Begin, my soul, the heav'nly song, A burden for an angel's tongue: When Gabriel sounds these awful things, He tunes and summons all his strings. 3 Proclaim inimitable love: Jesus, the Lord of worlds above, Puts off the beams of bright array, And veils the God in mortal clay. 4 He that distributes crowns and thrones Hangs on a tree, and bleeds, and groans: The Prince of Life resigns his breath, The King of Glory bows to death. 5 But see the wonders of his power, He triumphs in his dying hour, And, while by Satan's rage he fell, He dash'd the rising hopes of hell. 6 Thus were the hosts of death subdu'd, And sin was drown'd in Jesus's blood: Thus he arose, and reigns above, And conquers sinners by his love. 7 Who shall fulfil this boundless song? The theme surmounts an Angel's tongue: How low, how vain are mortal airs, When Gabriel's nobler harp despairs!
