O Crown of Rejoicing

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?

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 giv’n

And prais­es un­ceas­ing

Forever in Heav’n.

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.

O won­der­ful name

Which the glo­ri­fied bear

The new name which Je­sus

Bestows on us there;

To him that o’er­com­eth

’Twill on­ly be giv’n

Blest sign of ap­prov­al

Our wel­come to Heav’n.
