Star of peace ! to wanderers weary, Bright the beams that smile on me ; Cheer the pilot's vision dreary, Far, far at sea.
2. Star of hope ! gleam on the billow, Bless the soul that sighs for Thee ; Bless the sailor's lonely pillow, Far, far at sea.
3. Star of faith ! when winds are mocking All his toil, he flies to Thee; Save him on the billows rocking, Far, far at sea.
4. Star divine ! oh, safely guide him, Bring the wanderer home to Thee ! Sore temptations long have tried him, Far, far at sea.
