1 O star of truth, down-shining,
through clouds of doubt and fear,
I ask beneath thy guidance
my pathway may appear:
however long the journey,
however hard it be,
though I be lone and weary,
lead on, I follow thee.
2 I know thy blessed radiance
can never lead astray,
though ancient creed and custom
may point another way;
or through the untrod desert,
or over trackless sea,
though I be lone and weary,
lead on, I follow thee.
