Who Shall Wear Them?

Who shall win them

who shall wear them?

Crowns im­mor­tal

gold­en

glo­ri­ous?

Reap their rip­ened sheaves and bear them

To the har­vest home vic­tor­ious?

Who shall gain the star­ry prize

Crowned and throned in para­dise?

Who shall wear a crown vic­tor­ious

In that land of light all glo­ri­ous?

Who shall gain the star­ry prize

Crowned and throned in para­dise?

Shall we

Lord

who faint and fal­ter

Droop and doubt

dis­mayed and daunt­ed?

Shall we round that gold­en al­tar

Join the song by el­ders chant­ed?

Find with kings and priests a place

In the rap­ture of Thy face?

Shall we

ev­er ris­ing high­er

Praise

and bless­ing

and sal­va­tion

On the sea of glass and fire

Fall in ho­ly ad­or­ation?

Swell the song

till then un­known

Cast our crowns be­fore the throne.

Draw us

Je­sus

near and near­er

Ever after Thee as­cend­ing

Let our love grow strong­er

dear­er

Upward to its per­fect end­ing;

Lift us

then

in­to the light

Let us walk with Thee in white.
