From the Cross to the Crown
Be strong and courageous whate’er may befall,
We know our Redeemer will answer our call;
Tho’ sorrow and trials are weighing us down,
Yet hope looks away from the cross to the crown.
Refrain
From the cross to the crown let us follow our Lord,
From the cross to the crown let us cling to His Word;
Tho’ sorrow and trials are weighing us down,
Yet faith leads us on from the cross to the crown!
His cup of affliction was filled to the brim,
And are we not willing to suffer for Him?
The robe of His glory for us He laid down,
To show us the path from the cross to the crown.
Refrain
This life is a conflict, a battle with sin,
Yet trusting in Jesus thro’ grace we shall win;
The world may oppose us, the tempter may frown,
Yet faith leadeth on from the cross to the crown.
Refrain
Tho’ friends that are dearest have gone from our sight,
’Tis only to enter the mansions of light;
Their warfare is over, their burdens laid down,
How short was their path from the cross to the crown!

The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b. 
Fitting words for these days.
…I hope that yoou are having a wonderful weekend!
Hi Ellen, I hope you are doing well. I’m not familiar with this hymn but the lyrics are very encouraging. Thank you. God bless your day and the new week ahead.
I am awed of what Christ endured to go from the cross to the crown, I know when I see Him he will be wearing that glorious crown as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Revelation 17: 14 is one of my memory verses! Longing to bow before my Lord, Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
Sue
AMEN
