Author: Anon. Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a King of glory, Ere long 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! 2 He cometh, cometh speedy, To save his suffering saints, Saints groaning, waiting, ready, And endeth their complaints; With joy they meet him in the air, And shout the swelling triumph there; No longer poor and needy, But crowned with glory now! Not one's reviled to-day! None stumble in the way All crowned with everlasting glory now. 3 O tears, and sin, and sighing, Now let your prisoner go, Discharged from pain and dying And from a world of woe; I go to Christ, he comes to me, We meet in bright eternity, On clouds he cometh flying, On clouds of glory now! Victorious in his wars, Full many a palm he bears, And crowns of everlasting glory now! 4 O, what is tribulation, And all the ills I bear, Compared with this salvation, And all the glory there? Behold a city fair and high, Bright capital of earth and sky, The joy of all creation, And filled with glory now! The armies of his grace, Triumphant reach the place: 'Tis glory, everlasting glory, now! 5 There every sight that pleases, There every sound that cheers, There sweet, immortal breezes, Inspire the balmy years; There all the just join in a band, From every age, from every land, While o'er them reigns King Jesus, With crowns of glory now! The people of his grace, Have reached the heavenly place: 'Tis glory, everlasting glory, now! Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: KING OF GLORY
