Star of the East, oh Bethlehem star, Guiding us on to heaven afar Sorrow and grief and lull'd by the light Thou hope of each mortal, in death's lonely night Fearless and tranquil, we look up to Thee Knowing thou be m'st through eternity Help us to follow where Thou still dost guide Pilgrims of earth so wise Star of the East, thou hope of the soul While round us here the dark billows roll Lead us from sin to glory afar Thou star of the East, thou sweet Bethlehem's star Star of the East, oh Bethlehem's star, What tho' the storms of riat gather loud Faithful and pure thy rays beam to save And bright o'er the grave Smile of a Saviour are mirror'd in Thee Glimpses of Heav'n in thy light we see Guide us still onward to that blessed shore After earth toil is o'er Star of the East, thou hope of the soul Oh star that leads to God above Whose rays are peace and joy and love Watch o'er us still till life hath ceased Beam on, bright star, sweet Bethlehem star
