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.
Chorus
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?
Verse 2
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.
Chorus
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 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.
Chorus
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?
Verse 4
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.
Chorus
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?
