Can You Count the Stars that Brightly { Can You Count the Stars that Brightly by Johann W. Hey, 1837 TWINKLING STARS-German traditional melody Can You Count the Stars that Brightly } Can You count the stars that brightly Twinkle in the midnight sky? Can you count the clouds, so lightly O'er the meadows floating by? God, the Lord, doth mark their number With his eyes that never slumber; Chorus He hath made them, every one. Do you know how many children Rise each morning blithe and gay? Can you count their jolly voices, Singing sweetly day by day? God hears all the happy voices, In their merry songs rejoices; Chorus And he loves them, every one.
