Author: K. Shaw Hymnal: The Morning Star #49 (1877) First Line: The Savior was mocked and His crown was of thorns Refrain First Line: There's a kingdom in glory for me Lyrics: 1 The Savior was mocked and His crown was of thorns,
Yet a kingdom in glory had He;
He shall sit on His throne in heaven above;--
Oh, is that bright kingdom for me?
Chorus:
There's a kingdom in glory for me,
A kingdom in glory for me,
A kingdom of peace while I journey below,
And a kingdom in glory for me.
2 He reigns in the hearts of His people below,
His scepter is peace all divine;
He conquers His foes by the power of His love;--
Oh, say, shall that kingdom be mine? [Chorus]
3 Yes, Jesus is King, and forever shall reign,
Yet His kingdom is not of this world,
To Him let us bow, His praise let us sing;
His banner be ever unfurled. [Chorus]
Scripture: John 14:2 Tune Title: [The Savior was mocked and His crown was of thorns]
