Lyrics

Shine on, O Star of beauty,
Thou Christ enthroned above;
Reflecting in Thy brightness,
Our Fa­ther’s look of love.

Refrain

Shine on, shine on, shine on,
Thou bright and beau­ti­ful Star, shine on.
Shine on, shine on, shine on,
Thou bright and beau­ti­ful Star, shine on.

Shine on, O Star of glo­ry,
We lift our eyes to Thee;
Beyond the clouds that gather,
Thy radiant light we see.

Refrain

Shine on, O Star unchanging,
And guide our pilgrim way,
Until we see the dawning
Of Heav’n’s eter­nal day.

Refrain

And when, with Thy redeemed ones,
We reach the heav’nly shore,
May we with Thee in glo­ry
Shine on for­ev­er­more.
