A Golden Crown to Wear

Lyrics

Life’s sun is sinking down,
The shade of night draws nigh,
In death we’ll soon be found,
To meet the Lord on high.

Chorus:

O time speed on and bring the hour,
When I shall meet with Christ in pow’r;
Yes, let me then to glory rise,
And wear a crown beyond the skies.

When time shall be no more,
And we from sin are free;
The Lord we will adore,
Thro’ one eternity.

(Chorus)

What joy, indeed, to know,
For me is waiting there,
Inside those pearly gates,
A golden crown to wear.

(Chorus)
