Author: Rev. M. L. Hofford Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #268 (1885) First Line: A crown of life laid up above Lyrics: 1 A crown of life laid up above,
A crown of glory bright!
A crown whose peerless radiance
Outshines the beams of light.
Chorus:
A crown of life
With splendor all divine!
O wond’rous love,
A crown already mine!
2 A crown of life for one of earth,
O Saviour, can it be,
That such a gift of sovereign grace
Has been reserved for me? [Chorus]
3 A royal crown, not to adorn
Alone the head of kings!
A crown that thro’ eternal life
Immortal honor brings! [Chorus]
4 A crown of life with many stars,
Dear Saviour, shall it be,
That I may win a cluster bright
By turning souls to Thee? [Chorus]
5 A crown of life from Jesus’ hand,
Without a single gem,
Would rob it of its highest joy
And cause a blush of shame. [Chorus]
