Crowned With Thorns.

By J. A. Gregory

Go ye, in this last noble work, Though you win scorn as flames draw air, To every place where lions lurk The warning message bravely bear. Though tempted, tried, and torture-torn, Our Saviour once was crowned with thorns.
Should we expect an easier road While journeying in this vale of woe, Than marked out by the Son of God While on his mission here below? Though he a mighty King was born, His holy head was crowned with thorns.
They crowned with thorns that sacred brow, A reed was put in his right hand, And mockingly the knee they bow, That cruel Roman soldier band. For us his form was pierced and torn, His holy brow was crowned with thorns.
But soon he'll come, a conquering King, Then seated on the great white cloud, Deliverance to his saints he'll bring, And recompense oppressors proud; A golden crown will then adorn That sacred head once crowned with thorns. J. A. GREGORY.
