16647. Shine On, O Star!

1 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,
Thou bright and beau­ti­ful Star;
Shine on, shine on,
Thou bright and beau­ti­ful Star.

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

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