The Chief Among Ten Thousand

He’s the Chief among ten thou­sand

My Re­deem­er and my king!

I shall wor­ship and ad­ore Him

And His praise for­ev­er sing.

He’s the li­ly of the val­ley

And the fair­est of the fair!

I shall see Him in His glo­ry

Where the ma­ny man­sions are.

He’s the Chief among ten thou­sand

And the fair­est of the fair;

I shall see Him in His beau­ty

And His im­age I shall bear.

When my earth­ly course is fin­ished

And the work of life is done

When the bat­tle cry is ov­er

And the vic­tor’s crown is won;

I shall cast my crown be­fore Him

I shall walk with Him in white

Where the sil­ver fount­ains spar­kle

’Mid the vales of end­less light.

I shall see Him in His beau­ty

And His hand shall wipe away

Every tear of pain and sor­row

While His gen­tle voice will say

Come

ye bless­èd of My Fa­ther

To the rest pre­pared ab­ove

Where the tree of life is bloom­ing

In My home of peace and love.
