When the Battle's Over
Am I a soldier of the cross, A foll'wer of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His name?
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 thro' bloody seas?
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?
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.
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.
