16461. The Full Reward

1 There’s a full re­ward await­ing us in glo­ry;
’Tis for ser­vice giv­en un­to God’s dear Son;
It will make the joys of Heav­en all the bright­er;
We’ll re­ceive it when the vic­to­ry is won.

Refrain:
Crown of life, and crown of glo­ry,
Crown of right­eous­ness and joy,
Crown un­fad­ing, full of splen­dor,
And to see Him by and by.

2 There’s a crown of life for hum­ble ser­vice ren­dered;
There’s a crown un­fad­ing giv­en for our zeal,
Crowns of joy and glo­ry for the hosts un­num­bered,
And thro’ faith we all may have them if we will. [Refrain]

3 But to sit with Je­sus in His co­ro­na­tion,
Will be bet­ter than to wear the crowns ab­ove,
So we’ll cast them at His feet in ado­ra­tion;
’Twill be Heav­en just to real­ize His love. [Refrain]
