507. Crowns of glory ever bright

1.

Crowns of glory ever bright,

Rest upon the Victor's head ;

Crowns of glory are His right,

His, « who liveth and was dead. »

2.

He subdued the powers of hell,

In the fight He stood alone ;

All His foes before Him fell,

By His single arm o'erthrown.

3.

His the fights, the arduous toil,

His the honours of the day ;

His the glory and the spoil :

Jesus bears them all away.

4.

Now proclaim His deeds afar,

Fill the world with His renown ;

His alone the Victor's car,

His the everlasting crown.
