88. Many Stars in My Crown

1 There will be many stars in my heavenly crown
When I stand by the beautiful throne.
With a radiance more lustrous and bright it will shine
For the souls that to Christ I have won.

Refrain:
I will toil for the Lord, winning souls “In His Name”
Till at even the sun goeth down,
And shall wear by and by for each soul I have won
One more star in my beautiful crown.

2 When I stand with the saved to receive my reward
And the Master shall speak His “Well done!”
With a smile on His brow He will speak it to me
For the souls “In His Name” I have won. [Refrain]

3 As the fruit of my toil stars shall gleam in my crown
With a glory surpassing the sun,
For I dare not so live as to win not a soul
Ere my life up in heav’n is begun. [Refrain]

4 It was Christ who inspired me with love for the lost,
And some service thro’ Him I have done,
And each soul I have led to the Cross “In His Name”
Shall be one more bright star in my crown. [Refrain]
