To him that overcometh shall be given
The fruit from trees of life in Paradise!
He who has served the Lord and well has striven
Shall rest from toil, and take from Him the prize!
God will refresh him with heav'nly blessing!
Eternal rapture shall be his part!
Eternal rapture shall be his part!

Who overcometh shall be made partaker
Of hidden manna, by the Lord prepared!
A glorious heritage from God His Maker,
A title new shall unto Him be shared!
He who believeth and Him receiveth
Shall win the treasure, the morning star,
Shall win the treasure, the morning star!

Who overcometh shall in shining raiment
Before the throne of God in glory rest!
His name shall in the book of life be written,
Before God's angels he shall be confessed!
To him be given, who well has striven
The palms of vict'ry, a just reward,
The palms of vict'ry, a just reward!

Who overcometh shall become a pillar
In God's own sanctuary, in His house!
Shall have the name inscribed upon his shoulder:
Jerusalem, the city God avows!
A habitation for ev'ry nation
The Lord shall open in Salem's tent,
The Lord shall open in Salem's tent!

Who overcometh, he shall be invited
To sit upon the throne at Christ's right hand!
His grief, his sorrows, all shall be requited,
The promised crown adorns him in that land!
On pastures vernal in life eternal
He'll rest from labor, from toil and care,
He'll rest from labor, from toil and care!

Grant me, Lord Jesus, strength for overcoming
Sin, world and Satan and his gloomy host!
O make me faithful, let me be victorious
Thy face to see on yonder blessed coast!
There wilt Thou bless me, with joy refresh me,
There I'll discover eternal rest,
There I'll discover eternal rest!
