Representative Text

1 We look to Thee, O Savior,
Thou bright and Morning Star!
Illume our earthly pathways
With light from realms afar.

Chorus:
Shine on, O glorious light, Shine on!
Shine on, and banish our night,
O Christ, Thou bright and Morning Star,
Shine on, O glorious light!

2 Dispel the dreary darkness
With Thy soul-cheering rays;
Then we can journey homeward
With happy songs of praise. [Chorus]

3 We now are pilgrims seeking
The joys that never die;
O guide us till we enter
The city built on high. [Chorus]

4 Be Thou our constant beacon,
O Star of hope and love,
Till we are safe forever
With ransomed ones above. [Chorus]
