Unto Adam He said … cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee. (Gen. 3:17‑18) |
When they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head. (Matt. 27:29) |
We see Jesus … crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (Heb. 2:9) |
Gazing on the Lord in glory, While our hearts in worship bow, There we read the wondrous story Of the cross — its shame and woe. |
Every mark of dark dishonor Heaped upon the thorn-crowned brow, All the depths of Thy heart’s sorrow Told in answering glory now. |
