Star of Bethlehem

Guide us on our worldly way,

Through the night, through the day,

Thou star so bright.

Guide us from the path of sin,

Grant that we life's battle won.

Ere soon we die.

Guide us on thy way of peace,

Love thy brother never cease,

Life's hard road.

Guide us to a neighbour's hearth,

Bringing to his home a wealth

Of wishes good.

Guide us when our ways are blind,

To honest path and noble mind,

Our debts to pay.

Guide us to a Christian life,

Save us from all war and strife,

Oh Lord we pray.

Guide us to thy evening shade,

Night shall never dim thy glade,

Thy perfect rest.

Guide us onward aged and worn,

Suffering souls of sinners torn,

To thy keeping.

Guide us to thy throne in Heaven,

There a crown of glory given,

Our hope Eternal.

Guide us, Bethlehem's brightest Star,

Like the Wise men from afar,

Thy Cross to Bear.
