Star of my Love! I hail again
Thy light on Nights calm, dark, blue, stream,
An absence grief and care and pain
Are as a half forgotten dream:
For she is here whose glances seem
To purify the earth from stain
And lend a more celestial beam
To Heaven and all it's glorious train—
O how our souls with rapture teem!
Star of my Love!
Thy light on Nights calm, dark, blue, stream,
An absence grief and care and pain
Are as a half forgotten dream:
For she is here whose glances seem
To purify the earth from stain
And lend a more celestial beam
To Heaven and all it's glorious train—
O how our souls with rapture teem!
Star of my Love!
Star of my Love! the holiest shrine
On which fond hearts were ever laid
Thou art, thou must be all divine,
And thou hast heard the vows I made,
When with heart-broken grief I prayed
Benignant Star, one favoring sign,
O! thou hast not denied thine aid
And Heaven has heard my prayers and thine:
Thus then to Thee my thanks are paid
Star of my Love!
On which fond hearts were ever laid
Thou art, thou must be all divine,
And thou hast heard the vows I made,
When with heart-broken grief I prayed
Benignant Star, one favoring sign,
O! thou hast not denied thine aid
And Heaven has heard my prayers and thine:
Thus then to Thee my thanks are paid
Star of my Love!
Star of my Love! most lovely star
Of all in heaven's high temple hung!
Though wandering now asunder far
Thou hast for us an angel's tongue
Thou saw'st the parting pang that wrung
Our bosoms from thy silvery car
For us thy golden Lyre was strung
To Him that made us what we are—
And thus to thee our hymn we sung
Star of my Love!
Of all in heaven's high temple hung!
Though wandering now asunder far
Thou hast for us an angel's tongue
Thou saw'st the parting pang that wrung
Our bosoms from thy silvery car
For us thy golden Lyre was strung
To Him that made us what we are—
And thus to thee our hymn we sung
Star of my Love!
