Star of Peace to Wanderers Weary

lyricist: Jane Simpson, 1830
Composer: William Bradbury, 1844

Star of peace to wan­der­ers wea­ry

Bright the beams that smile on me;

Cheer the pi­lot’s vi­sion drea­ry

Far

far at sea.

Star of hope

gleam on the bil­low;

Bless the soul that sighs for Thee

Bless the sail­or’s lone­ly pil­low

Far

far at sea.

Star of faith

when winds are mock­ing

All his toil

he flies to Thee;

Save him on the bil­lows rock­ing

Far

far at sea.

Star di­vine

O safe­ly guide him

Bring the wan­der­er home to Thee;

Sore temp­ta­tions long have tried him

Far

far at sea.
