Make me wear that crown of thorns <br />That adorned the Savior’s head, <br />I’ll forever be by wisdom lead <br />Till they cease the storms of fate. <br /> <br />Adorn me with that marvelous crown of thorns <br />That the Master in his mission wore <br />Inflict on me all known dozens of woe, <br />I know that time relief is nigh. <br /> <br />How I love to wear your crown of thorns, <br />The same the Redeemer with gladness chose, <br />Like Him I love its prick; <br />With it dress me quick, <br />And let me the eternal legacy keep! <br /> <br />How sweet to walk the way <br />The Son of Man trod in His stroll <br />To the eternal mansions <br />Where chimes my Father’s call!<br /><br />Hannington Mumo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-1-crown-of-thorns/
