THE EASTERN STAR, by                    
First Line: Shine thou, o lord; within my heart
Last Line: Beyond death's dark portal, we forever will be.
Subject(s): Stars


Shine thou, O Lord; within my heart
Thou art my own, my morning star,
My life from thee can never part,
If thou be near or far.
It points to the mansions prepared for thee and me,
Across death's portal it is there we will see.

The Eastern Star is still shining,
Glad memory it came to bring;
To leave the pleasure of this world
For the great glory of our King;
Who points to, the mansions prepared for thee and me,
Beyond death's dark portal, we forever will be.
