Representative Text

1 Gracious Saviour, can it be
There awaits a crown for me,
Set with gems so pure, so bright,
Sparkling each with heav’nly light?

Refrain:
Yes, oh, yes, if you believe,
Jesus has a crown to give;
Yes, oh, yes, if you believe,
Jesus has a crown to give.

2 Can it be a harp of gold,
Glitt’ring bright, these hands shall hold?
That this voice shall join the song,
Sung by angels round the throne? [Refrain]

3 Shall I pass the pearly gates?
Shall I walk the golden streets?
Shall I see the great white throne,
And behold the Lamb thereon? [Refrain]
