T. Kelly (71/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

T. Kelly 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 by sovereign right The King of kings, and Lord of lords, He reigns in glory bright. 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.
