My Guiding Star

My Guid­ing Star shines for me in­to night

And oh

the light! And oh

the light!

Once deep­est dark­ness veiled the way I went

My Star was sent

my Star was sent;

And now

e’en in the gloam­ing as I go

I see His glow

I see His glow;

And now

e’en in the gloam­ing as I go

I see His glow

I see His glow.

My Guid­ing Star shines for me in­to day

To light the way

to light the way;

For when the world so fills my wea­ry eyes

And His dear skies

and His dear skies

So far away

sweet Star

I need Thy ray

To light my day

to light my day;

So far away

sweet Star

I need Thy ray

To light my day

to light my day.

And when at last the ev­en­ing time shall spread

About my bed

about my bed;

When mur­mured low the part­ings

and the heart

Forgets its part

for­gets its part

Then

out the dawn­ing new

be­yond

afar

Shall shine my Star

shall shine my Star;

Then

out the dawn­ing new

be­yond

afar

Shall shine my Star

shall shine my Star.
