Oh, Shine, My Redeemer! Lyrics

1. Oh, shine, my Redeemer
My Light o'er the way!
For faint is the pilgrim,
And lone, and astray:
No ray o'er the desert,
No light from afar;
Shine forth in thy glory,
Bright Bethlehem's star!

2. Long blazed the fierce sunlight,
And toiling I went;
Now night falleth, chilling, -
My courage is spent:
These shadows of darkness,
How fearful they are!
Shine forth in thy glory,
Bright Bethlehem's Star.

3. 'T is said - and the midnight
Is breaking away!
See, soft, through the shadows,
Pours mercy's mild ray!
Now smileth the pilgrim
To greet thee from far;
All hail to thy glory,
Bright Bethlehem's Star!
