Verse 1
The head that once was crown’d
with thorns
Is crown’d with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victor’s brow.
He lives… He lives…
I now that my Redeemer lives.
Verse 2
The highest place that hav’n [affords,
The king of kings, Lord of lords,
And heav’n eternal Light
Verse 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.
Verse 4
To them the cross, with its shame,,
With all its grace is given;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy, the joy of heaven.
Verse 5
The Cross He bore in life and health,
Though shame and death to Him;
His people’s hope, His people’s [wealth.
Their everlasting theme,
T. Kelly.
