Tune: | ST. MAGNUS |
Composer: | Jeremiah Clark, c. 1670-1707 |
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 highest place that heaven affords
Belongs to Him 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 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.
Amen.
