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.
