LyicsSTAR of morn and even,
Sun of Heaven's heaven,
Saviour high and dear,
Toward us turn Thine ear;
Through whate'er may come,
Thou canst lead us home.
Though the night be grievous,
And our courage leave us;
Though our trembling heart
Fail to do its part;
Though the tempter come,
Bring us safely home.
Saviour, pure and holy,
Leader of the lowly,
We devoutly pray,
Keep us in the way;
In Thy kindness come,
Lead Thy children home.
Star of morn and even,
Shine on us from heaven;
From Thy glory-throne
Hear Thy very own!
Lord and Saviour, come,
Lead us to our home!
