5*  6    -5   7   5*   5*  6  -5  -5   -7
Be-fore Lord God made the sea and the land 
5*  6   -5  -5    8   -8  8   -8  -7  7*  -7
He held all the stars in the palm of His hand 
-8   8   -9    -8     7   6   -9
And they ran through His fin-gers 
 8     8    -8  -8
like grains of sand 
-5   6   6   6   6    -6* 7  -7               
And one lit-tle star fell a-lone 

 5*   5*  6   -5   7   -7
Then the Lord God hunt-ed 
   5*    5*  6    -5   -7
through the wide night air 
 5*  5*  6   6   -5   8
For the lit-tle dark star 
-8  8   -8  -77*  -7
on the wind down there 
-8  8   -9  -8  7   6    -9
And He stat-ed and prom-ised 
 8    8    -8  -7*  -8
He'd take spec-ial care 
-5 -5   6    6   6   -7  7  7
So it would-n't get lost a-gain 

 7  7 -7*  -7*   -7* -7  7   -6    -5  -3*
Now a man don't mind if the stars grow dim 
 5  -5   -5*   -5* -5*-3*  5   -5  -5 -5
And the clouds blow ov-er and dark-en him 
7   -7* -7*-7*  -7    7    -6   -6  -6 -5  -3*
So long as the Lord God's watch-ing ov-er them 
 5   -5   -5*  -5* -5* -5  5*  -5
Keep-ing track how it all goes on 

 5*  6    -5   7    7   
But I've been walk-ing 
   5*    5*   6   -5  -5  -7
through the night and the day 
 5*  5*  6   -5   8  8  
Till my eyes get wea-ry 
-8  8   -8  -7 7*  -7  
and my head turns grey 
-88  -9   -9   -9  -9    8  -8
And some-times it seems may-be 
 -7    -7 -7 -7
God's gone a-way 
-7  -9   9*  -9   10  -9   8
For-get-ting the prom-ise that 
-8   -7  -7  -7
we heard Him say 

 5*  -5    8    8   8   -8 -7*  -8
And we're lost out here in the stars 
-8  -7    7    -7*   7
Lit-tle stars, big stars 
 -8  -8    -7     7    6
Blow-ing through the night 

5*  -5    8    8   8   -8 -7*  -8
And we're lost out here in the stars 
-8  -7    7    -7*   7
Lit-tle stars, big stars 
 -8  -8     8    -9   10    
Blow-ing through the night 
 5*  -5    -7  -7   -7  7  -6*   7
And we're lost out here in the stars
