Shining as the Stars

Author: H. H. B. Appears in 3 hymnals 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] Used With Tune: [Much of what this world can boast]
