Have You Seen the Star?

Composer: William Chambers, 1904

Have you seen the Star that shines

To guide the tra­vel­er on

As he jour­neys

home­sick

With his hea­vy load of care?

It will guide him safe­ly

Over to that hap­py home

Where the saints of all ag­es

Are sweet­ly rest­ing there.

O this bright Star

Forever shall shine

Though for a while

Earth’s storms may as­sail;

Heaven’s sweet home

At last shall be thine;

Judah’s bright Star

O’er all shall pre­vail.

O the wise men from afar

Did come to see the sight

And the shep­herds sang for joy

That bright and hap­py morn;

Yes

the wise men did re­joice

That calm and peace­ful night

When they knew that the pro­mised

Messiah had been born.

Brother

don’t fold up your hands

And stand in dark­ness here

When you have a guide

That will not let you go as­tray;

Jesus is the Star

To lead you to a home so dear;

He will guide

safe­ly guide

To the land of end­less day.
