LyicsThere is a King of glo-ry
Ere long on earth to rise,
Sung in pro-phetic sto-ry,
De-scending from the skies;
The babe of Bethle-hem, 'tis He,
It is the man of Cal-va-ry,
Not crowned with thorns and gory,
But crowned with glo-ry now!
Not crowned with thorns to-day,
Not mocked and led a-way,
But crowned with eve-er-last-ing go--ry now.
He cometh, cometh speedy,
To save his suffering saints,
Saints groaning, waiting, ready,
And endeth their complaints:
With joy they meet him in the air,
And shout the swelling triumph there:
No longer poor and needy,
But crowned with glory now,
Not one's reviled to-day!
None stumble in the way-
All crowned with everlasting glory now.
O tears, and sin, and sighing,
Now let your prisoner go,
Discharged from pain and dying
And from a world of woe;
I go to Christ-He comes to me-
We meet in bright eternity-
On clouds of glory now,
Victorious in his wars,
Full many a palm he bears,
And crowns of everlasting glory now!
O what are tribulation,
And all the ills I bear,
Compared with this salvation,
And all the glory there?
Behold, a city fair and high,
Bright Capital of earth and sky,
That dureth with duration,
All filled with glory now!
The armies of His grace,
Triumphant reach the place-
'Tis glory, everlasting glory, now!
There every sight that pleases,
There every sound that cheers,
There sweet immortal breezes,
Inspire the palmy years;
There all the just join in a band,
From every age, from every land,
While o'er them reigns king Jesus,
With crowns of glory now!
The people of His grace,
Have reached the heavenly place-
'T is glory, everlasting glory, now!
