They that be wise shall shine as the skies
In the firmament’s radiant light,
And they that turn many to righteousness,
Shall shine as the stars, forever bright.
Refrain
The wise shall shine,
As the firmament’s glittering light,
And they that turn many to righteousness,
As the stars, forever bright.
They that be wise shall live for the skies,
Tho’ rugged the pathway of right;
The pure and true angels of faith, hope and love,
To shine as the stars, forever bright.
Refrain
They that be wise shall point to the skies
All the wayward in sin’s deepest blight,
That they, too, believing, do God’s righteousness,
May shine as the stars, forever bright.
Refrain
