1 Oh! we are going to wear a crown,
To wear a starry crown.
Oh! we are going to wear a crown,
To wear a starry crown.

Refrain:
Away over Jordan,
With my blessèd Jesus,
Away over Jordan,
To wear a starry crown.

2 You must repent to wear a crown,
To wear a starry crown.
You must repent to wear a crown,
To wear a starry crown. [Refrain]

3 You must be saved to wear a crown,
To wear a starry crown.
You must be saved to wear a crown,
To wear a starry crown. [Refrain]

4 You must be cleansèd to wear that crown,
To wear that starry crown.
You must be cleansèd to wear that crown,
To wear that starry crown. [Refrain]

5 You must live right to wear that crown,
To wear that starry crown.
You must live right to wear that crown,
To wear that starry crown. [Refrain]

6 You must fight the fight to wear that crown,
To wear that starry crown.
You must fight the fight to wear that crown,
To wear that starry crown. [Refrain]
