O crown of re­joic­ing
That’s wait­ing for me,
When fin­ished my course,
And when Je­sus I see,
And when from my Lord
Comes the sweet sound­ing word:
Receive, faith­ful ser­vant,
The joy of thy Lord.

Refrain

O crown of re­joic­ing,
O won­der­ful song;
O joy ev­er­last­ing,
O glo­ri­fied throng;
O beau­ti­ful home,
My home can it be?
O glo­ry re­served for me?

O won­der­ful song
That in glo­ry I’ll sing,
To Him who re­deemed me,
To Je­sus my king;
All glo­ry and hon­or
To Him shall be giv’n,
And prais­es un­ceas­ing,
Forever in Heav’n.

Refrain

O joy ev­er­last­ing
When Hea­ven is won,
Forever in glo­ry
To shine as the sun;
No sor­row nor sigh­ing—
These all flee away,
No night there, no sha­dows—
’Tis one end­less day.

Refrain

O won­der­ful name
Which the glo­ri­fied bear,
The new name which Je­sus
Bestows on us there;
To him that o’er­com­eth
’Twill on­ly be giv’n,
Blest sign of ap­prov­al,
Our wel­come to Heav’n.
