LyicsSTAR of peace, to wand'rers weary,
Bright the beams that smile 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
At his toil, he flies to thee;
Save him, on the billows rocking,
Far, far at sea.
