1 When we meet our great Redeemer
When He comes to claim His own,
When the wound prints in His hands and side we see;
We will sing glad hallelujahs
To the honor of His name;
We will wave our palms of victory.
Refrain:
Palms of victory, palms of victory,
Waving round the throne of Jesus,
Who once died for me;
Palms of victory, palms of victory,
We shall wave the palms of victory.
2 When the guests at last have gathered
In the palace of the King,
And God’s own forevermore with Him shall be,
How the hills of God will echo
With the song the ransomed sing,
When we wave our palms of victory. [Refrain]
3 In the midst of all the splendor
Of the holy, happy land
Is our Savior who once died on Calvary;
Clad in robes of shining beauty,
All His saints before Him stand,
Waving high the palms of victory. [Refrain]
