Tune: | PALMS OF GLORY |
Composer: | William Dalrymple Maclagan (1826-1910) |
1 Palms of glory, raiment bright,
crowns that never fade away,
gird and deck the saints in light:
priests and kings and conquerors they.
2 Yet the conquerors bring their palms
to the Lamb amidst the throne,
and proclaim in joyful psalms
victory through his cross alone.
3 Kings for harps their crowns resign,
crying, as they strike the chords,
'Take the kingdom, it is thine,
King of kings and Lord of lords.'
4 Round the altar priests confess,
if their robes are white as snow,
'twas the Saviour's righteousness,
and his blood, that made them so.
5 They were mortal too like us:
O, when we like them must die,
may our souls translated thus
triumph, reign, and shine on high.
