O CROWN of rejoicing that’s waiting for me,
When finished my course, and when Jesus I see,
And when from my Lord comes the sweet sounding word:
“Receive, faithful servant, the joy of thy Lord.”
O crown of rejoicing, O wonderful song;
O joy everlasting, O glorified throng
O beautiful home, my home can it be?
O glory reserved for me!
2
O wonderful song that in glory I’ll sing,
To Him who redeemed me to Jesus my King;
All glory and honor to Him shall be given,
And praises unceasing forever in heaven.
3
O joy everlasting when heaven is won,
Forever in glory to shine as the sun;
No sorrow nor sighing―these all flee away,
No night there, no shadows―’tis one endless day.
4
O wonderful name which the glorified bear,
The new name which Jesus bestows on us there;
To him that o’ercometh ’twill only be given,
Blest sign of approval, our welcome to heaven.
