Representative Text

1 I’ve a crown laid up in heaven,
Where no rust or moth decay;
Joy to me this tho’t has given,
Naught can steal my crown away.

Refrain:
Earthly treasures cannot enter,
Nothing there shall e’er decay,
Could the charms of this world enter,
They would steal our crown away.

2 There’s a crown of life eternal,
For all who His will obey;
Greater than all earthly treasures,
Naught can steal this crown away. [Refrain]

3 There will be a happy meeting
Where no rust or moth decay;
Where we’ll reign forever,
Naught can steal thy peace away. [Refrain]

4 I am going home to Jess
Where I know my treasures be;
Free from rust and condemnation,
Naught can steal them away from me. [Refrain]
