Sheet music

  1. 1The head that once was crowned with thornsIs crowned with glory now;A royal diadem adornsThe mighty Victor’s brow.A royal diadem adornsThe mighty Victor’s brow.
  2. 2The highest place that heav’n affordsIs His by sov’reign right;The King of kings, the Lord of lords,He reigns in glory bright.The King of kings, the Lord of lords,He reigns in glory bright.
  3. 3The joy of all who dwell above,The joy of all below,To whom He manifests His love,And grants His Name to know.To whom He manifests His love,And grants His Name to know.
