J. Montgomery, 1771–1854.

PALMS of glory, raiment bright, C
rowns that never fade away,
Gird and deck the Saints in light,
Priests, and kings, and conquerors they.

2 Yet the conquerors bring their palms
To the Lamb amidst the throne,
And proclaim in joyful psalms
Victory through his Cross alone.

3 Kings for harps their crowns resign,
Crying, as they strike the chords,
'Take the kingdom, it is thine,
King of kings, and Lord of lords.'

4 Round the altar priests confess,
If their robes are white as snow,
‘Twas the Saviours righteousness,
And his Blood, that made them so.

5. They were mortal too like us;
Ah! when we like them must die,
May our souls translated thus
Triumph, reign, and shine on high.
