Riches in Glory (Canaan Melodies #42)

A joyful hymn which celebrates the riches Christ has bought for us by His grace.

LYRICS:

1. Riches in glory, O what a thought!
Jesus’ own blood this wealth for us bought;
He became poor so we might be made
Heirs to the joy that never will fade.

Riches in glory! riches in glory!
Riches in glory to meet ev’ry need;
Riches in glory! riches in glory!
Royal supply our wants to exceed.

2. Riches in glory, O what a store!
Treasures the soul can never deplore;
E’en while we bear the cross and its shame,
Riches in glory gladly we claim.

3. Riches in glory, for you and me,
What a delight the visions we see!
Pilgrims today as strangers we’re known,
While unto God we’re heirs to a throne.

4. Riches in glory, faith hath brought nigh,
E’en now we boast the portion on high;
Blessed this taste of all that shall be,
When in his beauty Jesus we see.
