- 1I am thinking today of that beautiful landI shall reach when the sun goeth down;When thru wonderful grace by my Savior I stand,Will there be any stars in my crown?Will there be any stars, any stars in my crownWhen at evening the sun goeth down? (goeth down?)When I wake with the blest In the mansions of rest,Will there be any stars in my crown?(any stars in my crown?)
- 2In the strength of the Lord let me labor and pray,Let me watch as a winner of souls,That bright stars may be mine in the glorious day,When His praise like the sea billow rolls.Will there be any stars, any stars in my crownWhen at evening the sun goeth down? (goeth down?)When I wake with the blest In the mansions of rest,Will there be any stars in my crown?(any stars in my crown?)
- 3O what joy it will be when His face I behold,Living gems at his feet to lay down!It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold,Should there be any stars in my crown.Will there be any stars, any stars in my crownWhen at evening the sun goeth down? (goeth down?)When I wake with the blest In the mansions of rest,Will there be any stars in my crown?(any stars in my crown?)
