Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] The head that once was crowned with thorns is crowned with glory now; a royal diadem adorns the mighty Victor's brow. [Verse 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: [Verse 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. [Verse 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. [Verse 5] They suffer with the Lord below, they reign with him above; their profit and their joy to know the myst'ry of his love. [Verse 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.
