WEAR A CROWN

WEAR A CROWN

Am I a soldier of the cross
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own his cause,
Or blush to speak His name

Refrain

And when the battle’s over,
We shall wear a crown,
We shall wear a crown,
We shall wear a crown!
And when the battle’s over,
We shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem!
Wear a crown, wear a crown,
Wear a bright and shining crown.
And when the battle’s over,
We shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem!

Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize
And sailed through bloody seas?

Refrain

Are there no foes for me to face?
Must i not stem the flood?
In this vile world a friend to grace
To help me onto God?

Refrain

Sure I must fight if I would reign
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by thy Word

Refrain
