The Head That Once Was Crowned With Thorns Hymn 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 by sovereign right:

The King of kings, and Lord of lords,

He reigns in perfect 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 bliss to know

The fulness of His love.

6 His cross to them is life and health,

Though it was death to Him;

Their present hope, and joy, and wealth,

And their eternal theme,
