Who Shall Wear the Crown?
By L. E. MILLNE.
Oh who shall wear a starry crown,
In that auspicious day,
When all the nations here shall own,
Messiah's glorious sway?
When all the tribes of earth shall wail,
For rocks and mountains call,
To hide them from the wrath of him,
Who comes the Judge of all. Who shall be clothed in raiment white,
In spotless robes shall stand,
When Jesus comes to gather home,
His little remnant band?
Oh who of all this mighty host,
That walk the earth to-day,
Shall wear a bright, a starry crown,
When earth shall pass away? O grant, dear Lord, by thy rich grace,
That I may overcome,
And see my Saviour face to face,
In that bright, heavenly home.
Then shall I wear a starry crown,
And garments fair and bright;
My King in beauty I shall see,
And dwell with him in light.
