I want to wear the crown

1.
Jesus, my all to heav’n is gone;
I want to wear the crown,
He whom I fix my hopes upon;
I want to wear the crown,
Oh my heart says praise the Lord,
my heart says praise the Lord,
my heart says praise the Lord,
I want to wear the crown. MILHA 66.1

2.
The way the holy prophets went,
I want to wear the crown,
The road that leads from banishment;
I want to wear the crown,
Oh my heart says praise the Lord,
my heart says praise the Lord,
my heart says praise the Lord,
I want to wear the crown. MILHA 66.2

3.
His track I see, and I’ll pursue,
I want to wear the crown,
The narrow way, till him I view,
I want to wear the crown;
Oh my heart says, etc. MILHA 67.1

The King’s highway of holiness,
I want to wear the crown,
I’ll go, for all his paths are peace.
I want to wear the crown.
Oh my heart says, etc. MILHA 67.2

5.
Lo! glad I come, and thou, blest Lamb,
I want to wear the crown,
Shalt take me to thee whose I am;
I want to wear the crown,
Oh my heart says, etc. MILHA 67.3

6.
Nothing but sin have I to give,
I want to wear the crown,
Nothing but love shall I receive.
I want to wear the crown,
Oh my heart says praise, etc. MILHA 67.4

Then will I tell to sinners round,
I want to wear the crown,
What a dear Savior I have found,
I want to wear the crown,
Oh my heart says, etc. MILHA 67.5

I’ll point to thy redeeming blood,
I want to wear the crown,
And say, ‘Behold the way to God!’
I want to wear the crown,
Oh my heart says, etc. MILHA 67.6
