A Purple Robe, a Crown of Thorn

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: TWC #217 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Tune Title: A PURPLE ROBE Lyrics: 1 A purple robe, a crown of thorn, a reed in His right hand; before the soldiers’ spite and scorn I see my Savior stand. He bears between the Roman guard the weight of all our woe; a stumbling figure, bowed and scarred I see my Savior go. 2 He hangs, by whom the world was made, beneath the darkened sky; the everlasting ransom paid, I see my Savior die. He shares on high his Father’s throne, who once in mercy came; for all His love to sinners shown I sing my Savior’s name.
