365 The head that once was crowned with thorns

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, 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 His cross to us is life and health, Though shame and death to Him: His people's hope, His people's wealth Their everlasting theme.
