Lyrics We may tarry awhile here as strangers, Unnoticed by those who pass by; But the Saviour will crown us in glory, To shine as the stars of the sky. We may never be rich in earth's treasures, Nor rise on the ladder of fame; But the saints will at last be rewarded, Made rich in Immanuel's name. We may live in a tent or a cottage And die in seclusion unknown; But the Father who seeeth in secret, Remembers each one of His own. Chorus: We shall shine as the stars of the morning, With Jesus the crucified One; We shall rise to be like Him forever, Eternally shine as the sun.
