| Text: | Beautiful Star, Shine On |
| Author: | E. Rinehart |
| Tune: | [On stormy seas I sail my bark] |
| Composer: | Asa Hull |
1 On stormy seas I sail my bark,
Nor fear for once the billows dark;
For streaming from the skies afar
Shines out the bright, the morning star.
Refrain:
Shine on, shine on, shine on,
O beautiful, beautiful star;
Shine on, shine on, shone on,
O beautiful star.
2 When on the crested wave I’m borne,
Amid the tumult of the storm;
Or, when the sea is calm and still,
‘Tis by that light I read God’s will. [Chorus]
3 Beyond the main a joyous band
Is waiting on the shining strand,
To welcome to that peaceful shore
My little bark, its perils o’er. [Chorus]
