'Tis Shining Still

1A beautiful star arose one night,
Divinely it shone with purest light;
Its wonderful rays the wise men led To find the Saviour's lowly bed.

Refrain'Tis shining still, 'tis shining still,
That beautiful star, o'er plain and hill; 'Tis shining still, 'tis shining still,
Salvation's star of God's good will.

2They knew by the word of truth divine, 'Twas time that the guiding star should shine;
They follow'd its light which shone afar,— 'Twas Christ, “the bright and morning star.”

3We'll follow its light, like those of old,
The “Light of the World,” by seers foretold;
We'll follow His light till we shall come To perfect rest in heav'n, my home.
