The head that once was crowned with thorns
is crowned with glory now;
Aaroyal diadem adorns
the mighty victor’s brow.

to whom he manifests his love
and grants his Name to know.

To them the cross with all its shame,
with all its grace is given;
their name, an everlasting name;

They suffer with their Lord below,
they reign with him above;

the mystery of his love.

their everlasting theme.
