1 In that fair land across death’s sea,
I expect to wear a crown some day;
Within that mansion built for me,
I expect to wear a crown some day.
Refrain:
I expect to wear a crown
When I lay my armor down,
And I’ll live with Christ forevermore;
To His kingdom I am heir,
Endless glory I shall share,
I expect to wear a crown some day.
2 I’m but a stranger in this land,
I expect to wear a crown some day;
With joy I’d leave this earthly band,
I expect to wear a crown some day. [Refrain]
3 The storms of life will soon be o’er,
I expect to wear a crown some day;
My fragile barque shall reach the shore,
I expect to wear a crown some day. [Refrain]
4 Let come what will of grief and pain,
I expect to wear a crown some day;
With joy I’ll rise and vict’ry gain,
I expect to wear a crown some day. [Refrain]
5 The Lord has promised life to me,
I expect to wear a crown some day;
His gentle hand will set me free,
I expect to wear a crown some day. [Refrain]
