The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7166

7166. Wear a Crown

1. Bugle calls are ringing out,
Forward is the battle shout,
See where floats the conqu’ring sign,
Onward to the war divine!

Refrain
And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown,
We shall wear a crown, we shall wear a crown!
And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem!
Wear a crown, wear a crown, away over Jordan!
And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem!

2. Sound the charge against the foe,
Lay the hosts of error low;
In His name, victorious King,
Let the song of triumph ring! [Refrain]

3. Fight the fight of faith and love,
Looking unto Him above;
Loyal soldiers, do and dare,
Your Commander’s joy to share. [Refrain]
