16626. The Diadem

1 For those who hum­bly serve their king,
And loy­al hearts to Je­sus bring;
Who do His will, who heed His voice,
And on­ly in His love re­joice,
Who trust in faith His guid­ing hand,
And meekly at His foot­stool stand;
Beyond the stars in r­egal state,
The palm and crown of glo­ry wait.

Refrain:
When we’re freed from ev­ery stain,
When with Je­sus we shall reign,
Love will be the bright­est gem,
That shall grace our di­adem.

2 O let us all in Je­sus’ name,
The scep­ter and the sig­net claim.
And may our lot be found with them
Whose brow shall wear "The Dia­dem."
Our house shall be God’s rest­ing place,
Our king­dom vast as end­less space;
A crown with Heav­en’s jew­els bright,
And robes as spot­less as the light. [Refrain]
