Tune:[Shine through the darkness, Star of hope and light]
Composer:C. Austin Miles

73. Star of Hope and Light

1 Shine thro’ the darkness, Star of hope and light,
Herald of the day,
Drive the gloom away,
Lead where thy glory crowns the silent night,
With thy pure and cloudless ray.

Refrain:
Light! Beautiful light!
Light of love divine;
Light! Beautiful light!
Around me ever shine.

2 Star of the morning, sent to cheer and bless,
Guide us ever still,
To God’s holy hill,
Up to the mountain of his righteousness,
All my path with brightness fill. [Refrain]

3 Shine in my darkness, Light of life divine,
Dayspring from on high,
Be thou ever nigh,
Kindle a flame within this soul of mine,
Lead me where no shadows lie. [Refrain]
