The Head That Once Was Crowned
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 513 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 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 profit and their joy to know
The wonder of His love.

All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name
At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline M. Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 255 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:10 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus ev'ry knee shall bow,
ev'ry tongue confess him King of glory now;
'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season, to receive a name
from the lips of sinners unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it, spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious when from death he passed,
3 bore it up triumphant with its human light,
through all ranks of creatures to the central height,
to the throne of Godhead, to the Father's breast,
filled it with the glory of that perfect rest.
4 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue
all that is not holy, all that is not true;
crown him as your Captain in temptation's hour;
let his will enfold you in its light and power.
5 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again,
with his Father's glory, with his angel-train,
for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him King of glory now.

Beyond all thought and fantasy,
That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortals' sake!
2 He sent no angel to our race,
Of higher or of lower place,
But wore the robe of human frame,
And to this world Himself He came.
3 For us baptized, for us He bore
His holy fast and hungered sore;
For us temptation sharp He knew;
For us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us He prayed; for us He taught;
For us His daily works He wrought,
By words and signs and actions thus
Still seeking not Himself but us.
5 For us by wickedness betrayed,
For us, in crown of thorns arrayed,
He bore the shameful cross and death;
For us He gave His dying breath.
6 For us He rose from death again;
For us He went on high to reign;
For us He sent His Spirit here
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
7 All glory to our Lord and God
For love so deep, so high, so broad;
The Trinity whom we adore
Forever and forevermore.

upon the Savior's brow;
his head with radiant glories crowned,
his lips with grace o'erflow.
No mortal can with him compare,
among the sons of men;
fairer is he than all the fair
that fill the heav'nly train.
2 He saw me plunged in deep distress,
he flew to my relief;
for me he bore the shameful cross,
and carried all my grief.
To him I owe my life and breath,
and all the joys I have;
he makes me triumph over death,
and saves me from the grave.
3 To heav'n, the place of his abode,
he brings my weary feet;
shows me the glories of my God,
and makes my joys complete.
Since from his bounty I receive
such proofs of love divine,
had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be thine.

Sing, my tongue, how glorious battle
Author: Venantius Honorius Clementianus Fortunatus (c. 535-609); John Mason Neale (1818-1866); William Mair (1830-1920); Arthur Wellesley Wotherspoon (1853-1936) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:9 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, how glorious battle
glorious victory became;
and above the cross, his trophy,
tell the triumph and the fame:
tell how he, the earth's Redeemer,
by his death for all o'ercame.
2 When the thirty years were ended,
humbly lived for all to see,
willingly he met his passion,
born to set his people free:
on the cross the Lamb is lifted,
there the sacrifice to be.
3 His the nails, the spear, the spitting,
reed and vinegar and gall;
from his patient body piercèd
blood and water streaming fall:
earth and sea and stars and mankind
by that stream are cleansèd all.
4 Faithful cross, above all other,
one and only noble tree,
none in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit your match can be:
focus of the world's redemption,
your dear burden makes us free.
5 Praise and honour to the Father,
praise and honour to the Son,
praise and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One,
one in might, and one in glory,
while eternal ages run. Topics: Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Christian Year Good Friday; Jesus cross Used With Tune: PANGE LINGUA

All is ready for the Feast!
Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:9 Lyrics: 1 All is ready for the Feast!
Every Jew is wondering how
God will liberate them now.
2 Pilate, fearful of revolt
he, at all costs, must avert,
puts the Legion on alert.
3 Listen! Galilean crowds
hail the Man from Nazareth,
Jesus, riding to his death.
4 What authority he wields!
With a whip of cords he clears
temple courts of profiteers!
5 Watched by priests and pharisees,
all he says and all he does
fans the hatred of his foes.
6 Now he gathers those he loves
in a room where bread and wine
turn to sacrament and sign.
7 In that dark betrayal night,
moved by hope, or fear or greed,
Judas sets about his deed.
8 Jesus in the olive grove,
waiting for a traitor's kiss,
rises free from bitterness.
9 As he wakes his comrades up
torches flicker in the glen,
shadows turn to marching men.
10 In that dawn of blows and lies
Church and State conspire to kill,
hang three rebels on a hill.
11 Innocent and guilty drown
in a flood of blood and sweat,
how much darker can it get?
12 How much darker must it be
for a God to see and care
that men perish in despair?
13 It is God himself who dies!
God in man shall set us free,
God as Man - and only he.
14 Let him claim us as his own,
we will serve as best we can
such a God and such a Man!
Final verse:
15 What does our salvation cost?
Jesus, we shall never know
all you gave and all we owe. Topics: Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Christian Year Holy Week Used With Tune: HEILIGER GEIST

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 2,218 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2 Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
take all my guilt away.
O let me from this day
be wholly thine!
2 May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire.
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
pure, warm, and changeless be,
a living fire!
3 While life's dark maze I tread
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide.
Bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow's tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.
4 When life's swift race is run,
death's cold work almost done,
be near to me.
Blest Savior, then in love
fear and distrust remove.
O bear me safe above,
redeemed and free!

There Is a Green Hill Far Away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 700 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:5-12 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
outside a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
what pains he had to bear;
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin;
he only could unlock the gate
of heaven and let us in.
5 O dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: HORSLEY
