We Shall Shine as the Stars

We may tar­ry awhile here as strang­ers

Unnoticed by those who pass by;

But the Sav­ior will crown us in glo­ry

To shine as the stars in the sky.

We shall shine as the stars of the morn­ing

With Je­sus the Cru­ci­fied One;

We shall rise to be like Him for­ev­er

Eternally shine as the sun.

We may nev­er be rich in earth’s trea­sures

Nor rise on the lad­der of fame;

But the saints will at last be re­ward­ed

Made rich in Im­ma­nu­el’s name.

We may live in a tent or a cot­tage

And die in se­clu­sion alone;

But the Fa­ther who seeth in secret

Remembers each one of His own.
