Beautiful Robe and Crown

Verse 1

Pleasures that earth can give Never are unalloyed, Like to the happiness That is in Heav’n enjoyed! What are earth’s garments gay, Often so proudly shown? Nothing compared to you, Beautiful robe and crown!

Chorus

Beautiful robe! Beautiful crown! Beautiful robe! Beautiful crown! What are the mines of earth? What is the world’s renown? Nothing compared to you, Beautiful robe and crown!

Verse 2

Fashion’s adornments are Ever with money bought, Heavenly garments bright, Only by faith are sought! What are the mines of earth? What is the world’s renown? Nothing compared to you, Beautiful robe and crown!

Verse 3

Land of the white-robed throng And of the harp and palm, After the storms of life Thine is a blessèd calm! There may our every name Surely be written down! Striving are we for you, Beautiful robe and crown!
