Be near, thro' life and death, As in that holiest night Of Hope, and Joy, and Faith, O clear and shining light!

O star which led to Him, whose love Brought down man's ransom free; Where art thou?—'Midst the hosts above, May we still gaze on thee?— In heaven thou art not set, Thy rays earth might not dim— Send them to guide us yet! O star which led to Him!
