And when at last heav'n's gate I see,
And taste the kingdom's pleasure,
This blood shall then my purple be,
I'll clothe me in this treasure;
It shall be then my glorious crown,
In which I'll stand before the throne
Of God, with none to blame me;
And as a bride in fair array,
I'll stand beside my Lord that day,
Who woo'd, and then will claim me.
