There is a King of glory,
Erelong on earth to rise,
Sung in prophetic story,
Descending from the skies;
The Babe of Bethlehem, 'tis He;
It is the Man of Calvary—
Not crowned with thorns, and gory,
But crowned with glory now!
Not crowned with thorns to-day,
Not mocked and led away,
But crowned with everlasting glory now!
—Anon.
