Sunday's Hymn: The Head That Once Was Crowned With Thorns

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, is his by 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.

—Thomas Kelly

My favorite video of this hymn is Mr. Stan’s, the second one.

Sunday's Hymn: Alleluia! The Strife Is O'er

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

The strife is o’er, the battle done;
The victory of life is won;
The song of triumph has begun.
Alleluia!

The pow’rs of death have done their worst,
But Christ their legions hath dispersed:
Let shouts of holy joy outburst.
Alleluia!

The three sad days have quickly sped;
He rises glorious from the dead:
All glory to our risen head!
Alleluia!

He closed the yawning gates of hell;
The bars from heav’n’s high portals fell:
Let hymns of praise his triumphs tell.
Alleluia!

Lord, by the stripes which wounded thee,
From death’s dread sting thy servants free,
That we may live and sing to thee,
Alleluia!

Sunday's Hymn: All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

All hail the power of Jesus’ Name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him, crown him, crown him,
And crown him Lord of all.

Crown him, ye martyrs of your God
Who from his altar call;
Extol the Stem of Jesse’s rod,
And crown him, crown him, crown him,
And crown him Lord of all.

Ye seed of Israel’s chosen race,
Ye ransomed of the fall,
Hail him who saves you by his grace,
And crown him, crown him, crown him,
And crown him Lord of all.

Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget
The wormwood and the gall,
Go spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown him, crown him, crown him,
And crown him Lord of all.

Let ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown him, crown him, crown him,
And crown him Lord of all.

O that with yonder sacred throng
We at his feet may fall;
We’ll join the everlasting song,
And crown him, crown him, crown him,
And crown him Lord of all.

—Edward Perronet
