Bright the beams that smile on me ;
Cheer the pilot's vision dreary,
Far, far at sea.
2 Star of hope ! gleam on the billow,
Bless the soul that sighs for Thee ;
Bless the sailor's lonely pillow,
Far, far at sea.
3 Star of faith ! when winds are mocking
All his toil, he flies to Thee;
Save him on the billows rocking,
Far, far at sea.
4 Star divine ! oh, safely guide him,
Bring the wanderer home to Thee !
Sore temptations long have tried him,
Far, far at sea.
