Author: Grant C. Tullar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12334 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: There is a land mine eyes shall see Lyrics: 1 There is a land mine eyes shall see
When I shall lay life’s armor down;
But all its bliss is not for me,
If I must wear a starless crown.
Refrain:
A starless crown when life is done?
No glittering gems which I have won?
Forbid it, Lord, that there should be
A starless crown in Heav’n for me.
2 The gains of earth are all but loss,
Eternal joys are all for me
When I by faith uplift the cross,
And lead one soul, dear Lord, to Thee. [Refrain]
3 Forbid it, Lord, that I should be
Content to live for self alone;
O may some soul I win for Thee
Adorn my crown when life is done. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: SYRACUSE
A Starless Crown
