1.
O little star shining above the world,
how wonderful it is to see you
standing in the sky like a precious jewel.

2.
When the shining sun sets,
show your light and beauty
throughout the whole night.

3.
If you did not shine to show the way
to the traveler walking in darkness,
might lose the way.

4.
When I see you, I rejoice in this way.
How wonderful that God has chosen
to place you there as a source of light!

5.
If your light can shine so brightly
from such a great distance,
how much more glorious will you appear
when I come close to you!

6.
The more we observe you,
the more we see your unfailing beauty.
O shining star,
we continue to see your glory in you.

7.
No matter how much time passes,
you have not changed until this day.
You remain the same,
shining forever.

8.
Even if countless sparkling little lights
try to display their brightness,
can they stand before
your true and glorious light?

9.
You shine like a piece of refined gold
that has been purified in the fire.
O eternal light,
may you shine forever
in the heavenly realm.
