Across the raging sea
An angel came descending
An angel sent for me

Silencing the waters
He kept the night at bay
But only moments later
The Savior's gone away

Shine on
Shine among the stars
Heaven sent an angel
The heaven where you are

Shine on
Brighten up the sky
Tell the world I'm coming
I'll follow you up high

Late in the evening
The company I keep
I walk the road to nowhere
I put myself to sleep

Pray I'll find a Savior
Someone to take my hand
And if only for a moment
I can see the promised land

Shine on
Shine among the stars
Heaven sent an angel
The heaven where you are

Shine on
Brighten up the sky
Tell the world I'm coming
I'll follow you up high

Pleasures I've been seeking
Where angels fear to go
Treasures I've been hunting
I'll trade them all to know

How could I live beside you
You know how hard I've tried
To get inside your kingdom
The tears that I cried

Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on

Shine on
Shine among the stars
Heaven sent an angel
The heaven where you are

Shine on
Brighten up the sky
Tell the world I'm coming
I'll follow you up high

Shine on
Shine among the stars
Heaven sent an angel
The heaven where you are

Shine on
Brighten up the sky
Tell the world I'm coming
I'll follow you up high

Shine on
Shine among the stars
Heaven sent an angel
The heaven where you are

Shine on
Brighten up the sky
Tell the world I'm coming
