Will there be any Stars in My Crown?
In Chapter 23 of Rainbow Valley, Mary Vance visits the manse and chat with the Merediths in the graveyard:
“Will there be any stars in my crown?” sang the Methodist choir, beginning to practise in the Methodist church.
“I want just three,” said Mary, whose theological knowledge had increased notably since her residence with Mrs. Elliott. “Just three–setting up on my head, like a corownet, a big one in the middle and a small one each side.”
Will there be any Stars in My Crown?
Eliza E. Hewitt
1. I am thinking today of that beautiful land
I shall reach when the sun goeth down;
When through wonderful grace, by my Savior I stand,
Will there be any stars in my crown?
REFRAIN: Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown,
When at evening the sun goeth down?
When I wake with the blest, In the mansions of rest,
Will there be any stars in my crown?
2. 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 billows roll.
3. Oh what joy will it be, when His face I behold,
Living gems at His feet to lay own;
It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold,
Should there be any stars in my crown.
