Why dost thou gaze so oft upon 
Those twinkling gems of night ? 
Knowest thou not a brighter star 
Gleams o’er our longing sight ? 
There is a star— a beauteous star. 
Whose mild and cheering rays 
Light up this dreary darksome world, 
With hope’s of brighter days. 
This blessed light, so constant, pure, 
Adorns and cheers our way. 
And ever in our sky appears. 
To shed its genial ray. 
The sick man hails its dawning light. 
It cheers his aching breast 
With promise of returning health, 
And hours of peaceful rest.
