Lutheran Hymn Project - The Head That Once Was Crowned

The head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty victor's brow

The highest place that heav'n affords
Is his by sov'reign right
The King of kings, and Lord of lords
And heav'n's eternal light

The joy of all who dwell above
The joy of all below
To whom he manifests his love
And grants his name to know

To them the cross, with all its shame
With all its grace, is giv'n
Their name, an everlasting name
Their joy, the joy of heav'n

They suffer with their Lord below
They reign with him above
Their profit and their joy to know
The myst'ry of his love

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!
