VERSE 01: Out on life’s dark stormy sea/Out where the billows roll,/Tossd by the waves wild and free/The barque of weary lost soul, wilder the waves seem to glide/Higher the barque is tossed,/There is no gleam from the lighthouse to guide/Another soul it lost./No! There is hope for the barque at last/Shining so bright,/There is a light,/Over the sea then its gleam is cast/Another soul’s in the harbor tonight.VERSE 02: When the light shines o’er the sea/Hope lifts the heart of all,/Over the waves to the lee/They glide where a voice gently calls, safe in the harbor at last/Out on the waves no more,/There is no fear for the danger is past/Another barque reached shore./Hear as they pray for the ones at sea/Praying each night,/For the bright light,/Many dear friends sadly long to be/Within the gates of the harbor tonight.CHORUS: Beautiful star of Heav’n/Send forth your light,/Guide safely to the Hav’n/Many drifting souls tonight | |
/Beautiful Star of Heav’n shine o’er the sea,/On each tossing wave/There’s a weary soul to save. | |
