Jesus, my all to heav’n is gone;

He whom I fix my hopes upon;

my heart says praise the Lord,
my heart says praise the Lord,
I want to wear the crown.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
