Author: H. H. B. Hymnal: Melodies of Grace and Truth #56 (1908) First Line: Much of what this world can boast Refrain First Line: They that turn many to righteousness Lyrics: 1 Much of what the world can boast,
I have liv'd to count as dross;
And the sight that charms me most,
Is a sinner at the Cross.
Chorus:
They that turn many to righteousness,
Shall shine forth as the stars for ever;
Shining as the stars for ever;
Shining as the stars forever,
Away to live with Jesus,
Shining as the stars.
2 Sounds or rapture, earthly glee,
Thunder's roll and ocean's wave
These I've heard — but give to me
Sinners asking Christ to save. [Chorus]
3 Charms and joys once felt and known,
Backward through my life I trace;
But this joy stands out alone —
Sinners found and saved by grace. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Much of what this world can boast]
Shining as the Stars
