1 Hoy gozoso medito en la tierra mejor
Do al ponerse mi sol llegaré.
Cuando me hay por gracia con Cristo el Señor
¿La corona de estrellas tendré?
Coro:
¿Una bella corona de estrellas tendré
Por las almas que a Cristo llevé?
Cuando llegue al hogar de la dicha sin par
¿La corona de estrellas tendré?
2 De la fuerza de Dios esperando el poder
Trabajar quiero siempre y orar
Por las almas, y al fin, cual estrellas saber
Que en mi sienes irán a brillar. [Coro]
3 ¡Oh! Qué gozo en los cielos será para mi
Viva gema poner a sus pies
Y tener en mi frente corona que allí
Ornen joyas de tal brillantez. [Coro]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
