LyicsStar of Peace, to wanderers weary,
Bright the beams that sile on me;
Cheer the pilot's vision dreary,
Far, far at sea.
Star of Hope, gleam on the billow,
Bless the soul that sighs for thee;
Bless the sailor's lonely pillow,
Far, far at sea.
Star of Faith, when winds are mocking
All his toil, he flies to thee;
Save him, on the billows rocking,
Far, far at sea.
Star Divine! O, safely guide him-
Bring the wanderer home to thee;
Sore temptations long have tried him
Far, far at sea.
