SONG I.
[1] When Christ was crowned with Thorns, 1And smitten with a Reed Upon the Thorns, to wound his Head And for to make him bleed; The world did little think This was the King of Glory: So when we speak of Crowns for Thorns, They think it's but a story.

[2] But as our Lord doth now His Crown of Glory wear; Who for our sake did wear those Thorns And such Abuse• •ear: So shall the Afflicted Saints That suffer for his sake Ere long be Crowned like their Head, And of his Joys partake.
