Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is his, is his by 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.
Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 2:10 Tune Title: ST. MAGNUS
