I Shall Have Stars in My Crown

When my day’s work is end­ed

Oft I view the set­ting sun

And I think of the beau­ties that await

For my vi­sion in glo­ry

When my heav’n­ly crown is won

And I pass to my home with­in that gate.

I shall have stars in my crown ov­er there

I shall have stars when my crown there is won

If I’m faith­ful to Him—

In my bright dia­dem

I shall have stars

Glittering stars in my crown.

When the night com­eth on and

I am wea­ry for a rest

Thus re­mind­ed when lain my ar­mor down;

And in glo­ry eter­nal

There up­on my Sav­ior’s breast

He shall give me a bright and glo­ri­ous crown.

When I wake in that morn­ing

And shall mount the glow­ing skies

While en­rap­tured be­hold the saints around;

Those awake changed to’im­mor­tal

While the dead in Christ arise

And in glo­ry for­ev­er shall be crowned.
