The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 510 hymnals Lyrics: 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 name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
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.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year The Kingdom and Glory of Christ Used With Tune: NOTTINGHAM
The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,000 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.
2 "Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry,
"To be exalted thus."
"Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
"For He was slain for us."
3 Jesus is worthy to receive
Honor and power divine;
And blessings more than we can give,
Be, Lord, forever Thine.
4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift Thy glories high,
And speak Thine endless praise!
5 The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred Name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year The Kingdom and Glory of Christ Used With Tune: NUN DANKET ALL' UND BRINGET EHR
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
Crown Him with many crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges; Godfrey Thring Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 795 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him Who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.
2 Crown Him the Son of God
Before the worlds began;
And ye, who tread where He hath trod,
Crown Him the Son of Man,
Who every grief hath known
That wrings the human breast,
And takes and bears them for His own
That all in Him may rest.
3 Crown Him the Lord of Life,
Who triumphed o'er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save;
His glories now we sing,
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died, eternal life to bring,
And lives, that death may die.
4 Crown Him the Lord of heaven,
Enthroned in worlds above,
Crown Him the King to Whom is given
The wondrous name of Love.
Crown Him with many crowns
As thrones before him fall,
Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns,
For He is King of all.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year The Kingdom and Glory of Christ Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

I know that my Redeemer lives!
Author: Samuel Medley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 470 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I know that my Redeemer lives!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, Who once was dead,
He lives, my ever-living Head.
2 He lives to bless me with His love,
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed,
He lives to help in time of need.
3 He lives to grant me rich supply,
He lives to guide me with His eye,
He lives to comfort me when faint,
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.
4 He lives to silence all my fears;,
He lives to wipe away my tears,
He lives to calm my troubled heart,
He lives all blessings to impart.
5 He lives, all glory to His Name!
He lives, my Jesus, still the same;
O the sweet joy this sentence gives;
I know that my Redeemer lives!
Amen. Topics: The Church Year The Kingdom and Glory of Christ Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

Where high the heavenly temple stands
Author: Michael Bruce Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 204 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands,
The house of God not made with hands,
A great High-Priest our nature wears,
The Saviour of mankind appears.
2 He who for men their surety stood,
And pour'd on earth His precious Blood,
Pursues in heav'n His mighty plan,
The Saviour and the Friend of man.
3 Though now ascended up on high,
He bends on earth a brother’s eye;
Partaker of the human name,
He knows the frailty of our frame.
4 In every pang that rends the heart
The Man of Sorrows had a part;
He sympathizes with our grief,
And to the sufferer sends relief.
5 With boldness therefore at the throne
Let us make all our sorrows known,
And ask the aids of heav'nly power
To help us in the evil hour.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year The Kingdom and Glory of Christ Used With Tune: SAXBY

The wonders of this sacred day.

Be God's surpassing glory sung:
Let all the listening earth be taught
The wonders by our Saviour wrought.
3 Unfailing Comfort, heavenly Guide,
Still o'er Thy Holy Church preside;
Still let mankind Thy blessings prove,
Spirit of mercy, truth, and love.

Spirit of mercy, truth, and love
Lord God, the Holy Ghost!
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 271 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God, the Holy Ghost!
In this accepted hour,
As on the day of Pentecost,
Descend in all Thy power.
2 We meet with one accord
In our appointed place,
And wait the promise of our Lord,
The Spirit of all grace.
3 Like mighty rushing wind
Upon the waves beneath,
Move with one impulse every mind,
One soul, one feeling breathe.
4 The young, the old inspire
With wisdom from above;
And give us hearts and tongues of fire
To pray, and praise, and love.
5 Spirit of light, explore
And chase our gloom away,
With lustre shining more and more
Unto the perfect day.
6 Spirit of truth, be Thou
In life and death our Guide;
O Spirit of adoption, now
May we be sanctified!

Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord!
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Martin Luther Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord!
Be all Thy graces now outpoured
On the believer’s mind and soul,
To strengthen, save, and make us whole.
2 Lord, by the brightness of Thy light,
Thou in the faith dost men unite
Of every land and every tongue:
This to Thy praise, O Lord, be sung.
3 Thou strong Defence, Thou holy Light,
Teach us to know our God aright,
And call Him Father from the heart:
The Word of life and truth impart,
4 That we may love not doctrines strange,
Nor e'er to other teachers range,
But Jesus for our Master own,
And put our trust in Him alone.
5 Thou sacred Ardor, Comfort sweet,
Help us to wait with ready feet
And willing heart at Thy command,
Nor trial fright us from Thy band.
6 Lord, make us ready with Thy powers;
Strengthen the flesh in weaker hours,
That as good warriors we may force
Through life and death to Thee our course!

Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove
Author: Simon Browne Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 602 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With light and comfort from above;
Be Thou our Guardian, Thou our Guide,
O'er every thought and step preside.
2 The light of truth to us display,
That we may know and choose Thy way:
Plant holy fear in every heart,
That we from Thee may ne'er depart.
3 Lead us to Christ, the living Way,
Nor let us from His pastures stray;
Lead us to holiness, the road
That we must take to dwell with God.
4 Lead us to heaven that we may share
Fulness of joy for ever there;
Lead us to God our final rest,
To be with Him for ever blest.

Come, Holy Spirit, come

Let Thy bright beams arise;
Dispel the darkness from our minds,
And darkness from our eyes.

Our doubts and fears remove;
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.
3 Convince us of our sin,
Then lead to Jesus’ Blood,
And to our wondering view reveal
The precious love of God.
4 ’Tis Thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life in every part,
And new create the whole.
5 Dwell, Spirit, in our hearts;
Our minds from bondage free;
Then we shall know, and praise, and love
The Father, Son, and Thee.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Whitsunday-The Holy Spirit Used With Tune: CARLISLE
