Tune: | MANOAH |
Composer: | Franz J. Hayden |
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
Is His, is His 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 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given;
Their name, an everlasting joy to know
The mystery of His love.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above;
Their everlasting joy to know
The mystery of His love.
AMEN.
