Crowned with glory and with honor,
But He does not reign as yet,
O’er the universal empire,
Which is His by right and debt.
He shall have supreme dominion
All things yet shall own His sway,
Every knee shall bow before Him,
Every will His will obey.
Crowned with glory and with honor,
But He wears them not alone,
He has purchased crowns of glory
For each chosen ransomed one.
But their joy will be to cast them
Down at His dear feet again,
Singing as they gather ‘round Him,
Thou art worthy who wast slain.
