Evening Star.
Beautiful star in heaven so bright,
Softly falls thy silver light,
As thou movest from earth afar,
Star of the evening—beautiful star.
Beautiful star, beautiful star,
Star of the evening,
Beautiful, beautiful star.
In fancy’s eyes thou seemst to say,
Follow me, come from earth away;
Upward they spirit’s pinions try,
To realms of love beyond the sky.
Beautiful star, &c.
Shine on! O star of love divine,
And may our souls around thee twine,
As thou movest from earth afar,
Star of the twilight—beautiful star.
Beautiful star, &c.
