Burl Ives - Will there be any stars ?



I am thinking today of that beautiful land

I shall reach when the sun goeth down

When through wonderful grace by my Saviour I stand

Will there be any stars in my crown.



Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown

When at evening the sun goeth down

When I wake with the blest in those mansions of rest

Will there be any stars in my crown.



--- Instrumental ---



In the strength of the Lord let me labor and pray

Let me watch as a winner of souls

That bright stars may be mine in the glorious day

When his praise like the sea billow rolls.



Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown

When at evening the sun goeth down

When I wake with the blest in those mansions of rest

Will there be any stars in my crown.



--- Mandolin Instrumental ---



Oh, what joy it will be when his face I behold

Living gems at his feet to lay down

It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold

Should there be any stars in my crown.



--- Banjo Instrumental ---



Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown

When at evening the sun goeth down

When I wake with the blest in those mansions of rest

Will there be any stars in my crown...
