Author: Hannah M. Bryon Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: The myriad stars of night Refrain First Line: Shine on, fair star of hope and love Lyrics: 1 The myriad stars of night Thro’ all the ages gone, So glorious and bright, For countless years have shone.

Refrain: Shine on, fair star of hope and love, And guide me to the port above. 2 The majesty divine That lit each wand’ring light, And bade them move and shine Each in its orbit bright; And in the vault above Hath placed each shining gem, Hath giv’n in tender love The star of Bethlehem. [Refrain] 3 Loud was the angry blast Around my little bark; The sky is overcast, And all its lamps are dark: Still thro’ the earthly night Beams one pure sparkling gem, The Christian’s beacon light, The star of Bethlehem. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Guidance Used With Tune: [The myriad stars of night]
