Star of Morn and Even

lyricist: Francis Palgrave, 1862
Composer: James Tilleard, 1867

Star of morn and ev­en

Sun of Heav’n’s heav­en

Savior high and dear

Toward us turn Thine ear;

Through what­e’er may come

Thou canst lead us home.

Though the gloom be griev­ous

Those we leant on leave us

Though the cow­ard heart

Quit its prop­er part

Though the tempt­er come

Thou wilt lead us home.

Savior pure and ho­ly

Lover of the low­ly

Sign us with Thy sign

Take our hands in Thine

Take our hands and come

Lead Thy child­ren home.

Star of morn and ev­en

Shine on us from Heav­en

From Thy glo­ry throne

Hear Thy ve­ry own:

Lord and Sav­ior

come

Lead us to our home.
