Representative Text

1 Behold the star whose gentle light
Ne’er falls to guide our weary feet
From paths of sin and darkest night,
Into a safe and sure retreat.

2 Oh! happy star, we love thy light,
It often cheers our weary hearts;
And when it beams so pure and bright,
Each cloud of darkness soon departs.

3 When all the world seems cold and dark,
And clouds shut out the light of day,
We’ll trust thee for our guiding mark,
And every cloud shall pass away.
