The head that once was crowned

- The head that once was crowned with thorns
- Is crowned with glory now;
- A royal diadem adorns
- The mighty Victor's brow.
- The highest place that heaven affords
- Is His by sovereign right,
- The King of kings, the Lord of lords,
- And heaven's eternal light.
- The joy of all who dwell above,
- The joy of all below,
- To whom He manifests His love,
- And grants His name to know.
- 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.
- They suffer with their Lord below,
- They reign with Him above;
- Their profit and their joy to know
- The mystery of His love.
- 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
