The Head That Once Was Crowned

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 509 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:9-10 First Line: The head that once was crowned with thorns Lyrics: 1. 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 belongs to him by right; the King of kings and Lord of lords, and heaven's eternal light. 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.

Author: Caroline M. Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 252 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:10 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus ev'ry knee shall bow, ev'ry tongue confess him King of glory now; 'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty Word. 2 Humbled for a season, to receive a name from the lips of sinners unto whom he came, faithfully he bore it, spotless to the last, brought it back victorious when from death he passed, 3 bore it up triumphant with its human light, through all ranks of creatures to the central height, to the throne of Godhead, to the Father's breast, filled it with the glory of that perfect rest. 4 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true; crown him as your Captain in temptation's hour; let his will enfold you in its light and power. 5 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again, with his Father's glory, with his angel-train, for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of glory now.

Thine is the pow'r; behold, I sit in willing bonds before thy feet. Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH
