Poem Words (six verses)
1.
The head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty victor's brow.
Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty victor's brow.
2.
The highest place that heav'n affords
Is his by sov'reign right,
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heav'n's eternal light.
Is his by sov'reign right,
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heav'n'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;
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 giv'n;
Their name, an everlasting name,
Their joy, the joy of heav'n.
With all its grace, is giv'n;
Their name, an everlasting name,
Their joy, the joy of heav'n.
5.
They suffer with their Lord below:
They reign with him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The myst'ry of his love.
They reign with him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The myst'ry of his love.
6.
The cross he bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to him;
His people's hope, his people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme!
Though shame and death to him;
His people's hope, his people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme!
