Little Stars

lyricist: Harriet Pierson, 1902
Composer: John Fearis

Just as the stars are shin­ing

Making the dark­ness bright

So we are shin­ing

shin­ing

Shedding our gold­en light.

Shining

shin­ing

shin­ing

Just like the stars above

Making the world around us

Happy with light and love.

And as the stars are smil­ing

Down on the earth be­low

We may re­flect the sun­light

Shining wher­e’er we go.

Each in his lit­tle cor­ner

Whether at work or play

We would be al­ways shin­ing

Turning the night to day.

How could they do with­out us?

Dark would the world be then;

We are the Sav­ior’s jew­els

Cheering the hearts of men.
