1 After the cross I have patiently borne
Over the fields of strife;
After the night in that beautiful morn,
Give me a crown of life.

Chorus:
Jesus, my Lord, when this warfare is past,
Led by thy counsel of love,
Thou wilt receive me to glory at last,
Safe in thy kingdom above.

2 After the days of my pilgrimage end,
After their tale is told,
Then where the songs of eternity blend,
Give me a harp of gold! [Chorus]

3 After the battle is over and won,
Ended in waveless calm;
After the pain and the watching are done,
Give us a victor's palm! [Chorus]

4 After the life of a lowly one here,
Humble, despised, unknown;
After the Kingdom of glory appear,
Give me a royal throne! [Chorus]

5 After the days of my labor and care,
Weary and oft oppress'd,
Then in the home thou hast gone to prepare,
Give me eternal rest! [Chorus]
