O the Crown, the Glory Crown

Verse 1

Weary gleaner in the field, poor or plenty be the yield, Labor on for the Master, nothing fearing, There’s a promise of reward, at the coming of the Lord, Unto all them that love His appearing.

Chorus

O the crown, the glory crown, O the day, the happy day is nearing, When the crown of rich reward Shall be given by the Lord, Unto all them that love His appearing.

Verse 2

Jesus now has gone above to complete His work of love; His return, day by day, is surely nearing, When His own He will receive, and a welcome He will give, Unto all them that love His appearing.

Verse 3

O how light will seem the grief, and the toilsome way how brief, When a crown in the glory we are wearing, O the rapture who can tell, as forevermore we dwell, With redeemed ones that loved His appearing.
