Sunday School Hymns No. 2 (Canadian ed.) ‎#154

154. There is a land mine eyes shall see

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.

Chorus:
A starless crown, when life is done,
No glitt‘ring 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. [Chorus]

3 Forbid it, Lord, that I should be
Content to live for self alone,
Oh, may some soul I win for Thee
Adorn my crown when life is done. [Chorus]
