A Crown Laid Up for Me

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1916
Composer: Charles Gabriel

Firm as a rock I will cling to my Sav­ior!

He is my hope wher­e’er I may be;

O what a joy and peace in be­liev­ing

He is a home pre­par­ing for me.

My long­ing eyes by faith be­hold

The gates of pearl

the streets of gold;

With Christ my Lord I there shall be

And wear the crown laid up for me.

Firm as a rock I will cling to my Sav­ior!

Walking with Him

no dan­ger I fear;

How can I want

when He is my Shep­herd?

How can I fail when He is so near?

Firm as a rock I will cling to my Sav­ior!

Praising His word

ad­or­ing His love;

Praising His name whose in­fi­nite mer­cy

Leadeth my soul to man­sions ab­ove.

Firm as a rock I will cling to my Sav­ior!

Nearer He brings my dwell­ing so fair;

Angels of light are wav­ing me on­ward;

Glory to God

my trea­sure is there.
