Legis figuris pingitur

Christ’s peerless Crown is pictur’d in
The figures of the Law:
The Ram entangled in the thorns
The Bush which Moses saw;

The Rainbow girding round the ark;
The Table’s crown of gold;
The Incense which in waving wreaths
Around the Altar roll’d.

Hail, glorious Crown! which didst the pangs
Of dying Jesus feel;
Thou dost the brightest gems outshine,
And all the stars excel.

Praise, honour, to the Father be,
Praise to his only Son;
Praise to the blessed Paraclete
While endless ages run.
