O, Guiding Star (a song)

The road I walk is dark and thin
The narrow gate I entered in
Revealed a path that never bends
But leads to the star I see ahead
The guiding star I see ahead

Other roads bear more ease
And other masters try to please
But the end is dying and disease
And I learned these worldly ways to dread
And turn to the guiding star ahead

O, Guiding Star, theme of my song
I follow Thee and flee from wrong
Though evil may pursue me still
I may come to Thee and it never will
Guide my feet, keep me safe from harm
And light the way, o Guiding Star

The way is black as a midnight wraith
The path seems rocky as of late
But I press on and walk by faith
In submission to what You said
I follow the guiding star ahead

Sometimes I wonder at it all
Not knowing where my feet may fall
But faithfully I heed the Call
But follow to where it has led
That guiding star I see ahead

O, Guiding Star, O, Guiding Star
Bring me safe to where You are
Loudly, brightly show the way
Tell the path melt into day
Then hold me gently in Thine arms
Where no darkness dwells, O Guiding Star
