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.
