Shine On, O Star! (Harrington)

Shine in thy beauty

O won­drous star

Bright on thy ra­di­ant way;

Humbly we fol­low thy lead­ing far

Be thou our bea­con alway.

Shine on! shine on!

O star of the morn­ing

shine on! shine on!

Shine on! shine on!

The wide world adorn­ing

shine on! shine on!

Each soul that in glad­ness thy praise doth sing

Securely and peace­ful­ly thou wilt bring

Where dwell­eth in glo­ry our heav’n­ly king;

Shine on! shine on! shine on!

Down thro’ the ages

thou vi­vid spark

Brightly thy glo­ry doth shine

Filling with pro­mise earth’s cor­ners dark

Pointing to God’s love di­vine.

Brighter thy beams as the years roll by

Greater their pow­er to bless

Fadeless thy place in cre­ation’s sky

Daystar of His right­eous­ness.
