The Full Reward

lyricist: Wilbur Chapman, 1894
Composer: Peter Bilhorn

There’s a full re­ward await­ing us in glo­ry;

’Tis for serv­ice giv­en un­to God’s dear Son;

It will make the joys of Heav­en all the bright­er;

We’ll re­ceive it when the vic­to­ry is won.

Crown of life

and crown of glo­ry

Crown of right­eous­ness and joy

Crown un­fad­ing

full of splen­dor

And to see Him by and by.

There’s a crown of life for hum­ble serv­ice ren­dered;

There’s a crown un­fad­ing giv­en for our zeal

Crowns of joy and glo­ry for the hosts un­num­bered

And thro’ faith we all may have them if we will.

But to sit with Je­sus in His co­ro­na­tion

Will be bet­ter than to wear the crowns ab­ove

So we’ll cast them at His feet in ad­or­ation;

’Twill be Heav­en just to real­ize His love.
