The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 529 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:8 Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns
Iis crowned with glory now;
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty Victor’s brow.
2 The highest place that heav'n affords
is his, is his by 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.
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.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery 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!

Christ Whose Glory Fills the Skies
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 485 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise!
Triumph o'er the shades of night:
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
unaccompanied by thee;
joyless is the day’s return
till thy mercy’s beams I see,
till they inward light impart,
glad my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit then this soul of mine,
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, Radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day. Topics: Morning; Jesus Christ, Light; Light Used With Tune: RATISBON

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 425 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven,
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall.
With the poor and mean and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 Not in that poor lowly stable,
with the oxen standing by,
we shall see him, but in heaven,
set at God's right hand on high,
when, like stars, his children crowned
all in white shall gather round.

Now to the Lord a noble song
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 332 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-5 Lyrics: 1 Now to the Lord a noble song,
awake, my soul, awake, my tongue!

and all his boundless love proclaim!

God in the person of his Son,
has all his mightiest works outdone.

proclaim the wise, the powerful God,
and your rich glories from afar
gleam bright in every rolling star.

the pleasing lustre of his eyes
outshines the wonders of the skies.

and heav'ns, reflect it to the ground, Topics: Epiphany; Grace; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Joy; Providence Used With Tune: NEWCASTLE

At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel, 1817-1877 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 264 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:9 Lyrics: 1 At the Name of Jesus
Every knee shall bow,
Ev'ry tongue confess him
King of glory now;
'Tis the Father's pleasure
We should call him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season,
To receive a Name
From the lips of sinners,
Unto whom he came,
Faithfully he bore it
Spotless to the last,
Brought it back victorious,
When through death he passed.
3 Bore it up triumphant,
With its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures,
To the central height,
To the throne of Godhead,
To the Father's breast;
Filled it with the glory
Of that perfect rest.
4 In your hearts enthrone him;
There let him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true:
Crown him as your Captain
In temptation's hour;
Let his will enfold you
In its light and power.
5 Jesus, Lord and Savior,
Shall return again,
With his Father's glory
O'er the earth to reign;
For all wreaths of empire
Meet upon his brow,
And our hearts confess him
King of glory now.

And lowly in thy temple bend;
See crowds on every side arise,
Eager to mount above the skies.

And pour on thee a flood of day!

For God himself shall be thy light.

Rocks fall, and mountains melt away!
Fixed in his word, his power remains:
Thy glorious King, Messiah, reigns!
