I Shall Have Stars In My Crown

Author: Gladys Clark Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12901 First Line: When my day’s work is ended Refrain First Line: I shall have stars in my crown over there Lyrics: 1 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. Refrain: 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, Glitering stars in my crown. 2 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. [Refrain] 3 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. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When my day’s work is ended]
