Crowning Day No. 2 ‎#131

131. Crown After Cross

1 How sweet will be the welcome home
When this short life is o’er,
When pain and sorrow, care and grief,
Shall dwell with us no more.

Refrain:
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,
Palms of victory we shall wear.

2 When we that bright and heav’nly land,
With spirit eyes shall see,
And join the holy angel band,
In praise, dear Lord of Thee. [Refrain]

3 O may we live while here below,
In view of that blest day,
When God’s bright angels shall come down,
To bear our souls away. [Refrain]

4 When we shall walk the golden streets,
In garments white and pure;
And sing an endless song of Him
Who made our souls secure. [Refrain]
