There is one bright star in heaven

Ever shining in my night;

God to me one guide has given

Like the sailor's beacon light,

Set on every shoal of danger

Sending out its warning ray

To the homebound weary stranger

Looking for the land-locked bay.

In my farthest, wildest wand'rings

I have turned me to that love,

As a diver, neath the water,

Turns to watch the light above.
