My Guiding Star
Author: Charles W. Collinge Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: My Guiding Star shines for me into night Lyrics: 1 My Guiding Star shines for me into night,
And oh, the light! And oh, the light!
Once deepest darkness veiled the way I went,
My Star was sent, my Star was sent;
And now, e’en in the gloaming as I go,
I see His glow, I see His glow;
And now, e’en in the gloaming as I go,
I see His glow, I see His glow.
2 My Guiding Star shines for me into day,
To light the way, to light the way;
For when the world so fills my weary eyes,
And His dear skies, and His dear skies,
So far away, sweet Star, I need Thy ray,
To light my day, to light my day;
So far away, sweet Star, I need Thy ray,
To light my day, to light my day.
3 And when at last the evening time shall spread,
About my bed, about my bed;
When murmured low the partings, and the heart,
Forgets its part, forgets its part,
Then, out the dawning new, beyond, afar,
Shall shine my Star, shall shine my Star;
Then, out the dawning new, beyond, afar,
Shall shine my Star, shall shine my Star. Used With Tune: [My Guiding Star shines for me into night] Text Sources: Great Revival Hymns No. 2 by Homer A.Rodeheaver and Bentley D. Ackley (Chicago: Rodeheaver Company, 1913)
