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.

3

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

4

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

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

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