Can You Count the Stars?

Can you count the stars that bright­ly

Twinkle in the mid­night sky?

Can you count the clouds

so light­ly

O’er the mea­dows float­ing by?

God

the Lord

doth mark their num­ber

With His eyes that nev­er slum­ber

He hath made them ev­ery one

He hath made them ev­ery one.

Can you count the wings now flash­ing

In the sun­shine’s gold­en light?

Can you count the fish­es splash­ing

In the cool­ing wa­ters bright?

God

the Lord

a name hath giv­en

To all crea­tures un­der Heav­en;

He hath named them ev­ery one

He hath named them ev­ery one.

Do you know how ma­ny child­ren

Rise each morn­ing blithe and gay?

Can you count their jol­ly voic­es

Singing sweet­ly day by day?

God hears all the hap­py voic­es

In their mer­ry songs re­joic­es;

And He loves them

ev­ery one

And He loves them

ev­ery one.
