Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #145 (1899) Lyrics: 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 joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below;
To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His name to know.
3 To us Thy cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, be given;
Though earth disowns Thy lowly name,
All worship it in heaven.
4 Who suffer with Thee, Lord, below,
They reign with Thee above;
Then let it be our joy to know
This way of peace and love.
5 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.
