Sweet star of hope,so clear and bright,
shine on and cheer my yearning sight,
how dark the world would be to me,
did I not gaze sweet star on thee.
A foretaste of the realm divine,
is given forth by rays of thine,
shine on sweet star above my way,
and guide me to the perfect day.
When sombre clouds obscure the light,
and all is wrapped in shades of night,
my eyes can pierce the gloom around,
until thy radiant beams are found.
A foretaste of the realm divine,
is given forth by rays of thine,
shine on sweet star above my way,
and guide me to the perfect day.
When fades the light of friendship's smile,
when love and faith no more beguile,
and o'er the earth we blindly grope,
how welcome is thy light, sweet hope.
A foretaste of the realms divine,
is given forth by rays of thine,
shine on sweet star above my way,
and guide me to the perfect day.
by W Dexter Smith Jnr. (1842-1909) American songwriter.
