Crowning Glory No. 1 ‎#34

34. The Book of Life

1 In the Lamb's Book of Life
Will my name there appear?
Shall I walk in white raiment?
Will Jesus be near?
With the dear ones of earth
Who have pass'd on before,
Shall I dwell in that country
And sorrow no more?

Chorus:
Glory to God! His promise is dear;
I rejoice, for I know that my name's written there.

2 Unto me a new name
In His kingdom He'll give;
Of the manna that's hidden
From Him I'll receive;
And my name He'll confess
To the Father above;
Oh, then, blessed be God for
The Son of His love. [Chorus]

3 There shall nothing be hid
From the eyes of His own,
When in glory we view Him
Upon the great throne;
Then to Him shall arise
From the saved among men,
Unto Him be the glory
Forever, Amen. [Chorus]
