The Jewel ‎#7

7. A Starless Crown

1 Oh, shall I wear a starless crown
In yonder world of glory?
Or will some little friend be found
To whom I've told the story--
The wondrous story of the cross,
The sufferings of the Saviour,
Who died that he from worldly dross
Might win us to his favor.

Full Chorus:
O happy day! O happy place!
We soon shall meet together,
Where Jesus stands with smiling face
To crown us his for ever.

2 A youthful army now we stand,
Our Captain's word is given,
We'll onward move, his blest command
Will guide us on to heaven.
When ransom'd hosts shall gather round
The Lamb on Zion's mountain,
Oh, there may we each one be found
Beside the living fountain. [Chorus]
