|
| 1 | Jesus, Thy head, once crowned with thorns, | John 19:2; Hebrews 2:7,9; Revelation 6:2 |
| Is crowned with glory now; |
| Heaven's royal diadem adorns |
| The mighty Victor's brow. |
|
| 2 | Thou glorious light of courts above, | Revelation 2:23; Ephesians 3:17-19 |
| Joy of the saints below, |
| To us still manifest Thy love, |
| That we its depths may know. |
|
| 3 | To us Thy cross with all its shame, | Hebrews 12:2; 1 Peter 4:14; Revelation 19:16 |
| With all its grace be given; |
| Though earth disowns Thy lowly name, |
| God honors it in heaven. |
|
| 4 | Who suffer with Thee, Lord, below, | 2 Timothy 2:12 |
| Shall reign with Thee above; |
| Then let it be our joy to know |
| This way of peace and love. |
|
| 5 | To us Thy cross is life and health; | Hebrews 12:2; Philippians 2:8; Galatians 6:14 |
| 'Twas shame and death to Thee; |
| Our present glory, joy and wealth, |
| Our everlasting stay. |
