There will be stars in my crown.

There will be stars in my crown. [Refrain]

Come, We That Love the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,827 hymnals Topics: Heaven Anticipated Lyrics: 1 Come, we that love the Lord,
and let our joys be known;
join in a song with sweet accord,
and thus surround the throne.
2 Let those refuse to sing
that never knew our God;
but children of the heav'nly King
may speak their joys abroad.
3 The men of grace have found
glory begun below;
celestial fruits on earthly ground
from faith and hope may grow.
4 The hill of Zion yields
a thousand sacred sweets,
before we reach the heav'nly fields
or walk the golden streets.
5 Then let our songs abound,
and ev'ry tear be dry;
we're marching through Immanuel's ground
to fairer worlds on high.
Scripture: Psalm 149:2 Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS

Till our work on earth is o’er;
Soon in sacred bliss we’ll gather,
Where the ransomed part no more.
2 Grace hath robed your souls in beauty,
Molded you in love divine;
May your lives reflect her virtue
To the glorious end of time. [Refrain]

Guide us o’er life’s tossing sea;
At Thy throne we’ll meet to praise Thee,
Endless as eternity.

Anticipation
Author: C. W. N. Meter: 8.5.8.5.7.7.7.5 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Anticipation First Line: When the last earth-tie is sundered Lyrics: 1 When the last earth-tie is sundered,
And my soul set free;
When life’s cares and toils are numbered,
I shall haste to be
With my Lord, in realms of light,
Where no sin can ever blight,
Where ne’er comes the shades of night;
To His arms I’ll flee.
2 Often here I’m sad and weary,
As the days go by;
Oft the scenes are dark and dreary,
Teardrops dim my eye;
But when this short life is o’er,
We shall weep and sigh no more,
But rejoice forevermore
In our home on high.
3 Now I look with eager longing,
Where I soon shall stand,
Where the happy spirits thronging,
In the heav’nly band,
Taste the joys of love divine,
In refulgent glory shine—
This great heritage is mine,
In that happy land.
4 Shall I shrink at death’s cold river,
When on yonder shore
Stands of every good the Giver,
Whom I now adore?
Untold pleasures beckon me,
Untold joys by faith I see,
Untold happiness to be
Mine forevermore.

Far from my heavenly home
The golden gates are lifted up
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 132 hymnals Topics: Heaven Anticipated Lyrics: 1 The golden gates are lifted up,
The doors are opened wide;
The King of Glory is gone in
Unto his Father's side.
2 Thou art gone up before us, Lord,
To make for us a place,
That we may be where now thou art,
And look upon God's face.
3 And ever on our earthly path
A gleam of glory lies,
A light still breaks behind the cloud
That veiled thee from our eyes.
4 Lift up our hearts, lift up our minds:
Let thy dear grace be giv'n,
That, while we wander here below,
Our treasure be in heav'n;
5 That where thou art, at God's right hand,
Our hope, our love, may be:
Dwell thou in us, that we may dwell
For evermore in thee.
Amen. Scripture: John 14:2 Used With Tune: MIRFIELD

Pointing souls to Calvary—to the crimson flow,
Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within;
But my Lord leads me on, through Him I must win.
Refrain:
Oh, I want to see Him, look upon His face,
There to sing forever of His saving grace;
On the streets of glory let me lift my voice,
Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.
2 When in service for my Lord dark may be the night,
But I’ll cling more close to Him, He will give me light;
Satan’s snares may vex my soul, turn my thoughts aside;
But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate’er betide. [Refrain]
3 When in valleys low I look toward the mountain height,
And behold my Savior there, leading in the fight,
With a tender hand outstretched toward the valley low,
Guiding me, I can see, as I onward go. [Refrain]
4 When before me billows rise from the mighty deep,
Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep,
And He leads me gently on through this world below;
He’s a real Friend to me, oh, I love Him so. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 John 3:2 Used With Tune: [As I journey through the land, singing as I go] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Oh_I_Want_to_See_Him)
