Text: | Palms of glory, raiment bright |
Tune: | LICHFIELD |
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 the joyful psalms
Victory through His Cross alone.
3 Kings their crowns for harps 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.
Amen.
