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 Is His, is His 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 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.
