12 WEAR A CROWN (F)

---

Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the lamb, And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His name?

Chorus

And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown! Yes, we shall wear a crown! Yes, we shall wear a crown! And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown In the new Jerusalem. Wear a crown, wear a crown, Wear a bright and shining crown. And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown. In the new Jerusalem.

Must I be carried to the skies On flow’ry beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas?

Chorus

And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown! Yes, we shall wear a crown! Yes, we shall wear a crown! And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown In the new Jerusalem. Wear a crown, wear a crown, Wear a bright and shining crown. And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown. In the new Jerusalem.

Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace To help me on to God?

Chorus

And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown! Yes, we shall wear a crown! Yes, we shall wear a crown! And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown In the new Jerusalem. Wear a crown, wear a crown, Wear a bright and shining crown. And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown. In the new Jerusalem.

Sure I must fight if I would reign, Increase my courage, Lord; I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy Word.

Chorus

And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown! Yes, we shall wear a crown! Yes, we shall wear a crown! And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown In the new Jerusalem. Wear a crown, wear a crown, Wear a bright and shining crown. And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown. In the new Jerusalem.
