Oh, shine on
Shine like the stars
forever.
Oh, nothing can compare
in this starry sky
or the earth bellow
to your angelic form.
Oh, when I look into your face
I see God's eternity
though I were to count the stars
one by one
measure their  glory
weigh them all together
none could outshine your glory.
Oh, for who can compare
the beauty of you
my dear angel!
Oh, you are beyond words!
Oh, when my eyes
first rested upon you
all my will drained from my soul
and forever and evermore
these chains around my heart
shall ever be
for though the heavens pass away
the fate of my heart
and my soul
shall ever rest in your hands.
