Stella Polaris

Beyond the tides and times I shine,
When sun and moon are missing
I guide you on your lonely paths
When there is no one else, I am
Beyond the tides and times, I shine.

On lonely paths, when sun and moon
May all no longer shelter you,
Then I am there, you see my light
On the horizon, giving hope, Look up
On all your lonely paths, beyond I shine.

I‘m who I am, was and will be,
Whether you may believe or not, I am,
And with a touch of hope you see, only
With confidence when you set out, you see
Me who I am, was and will be. I shine.

Yet, the world‘s mightiest force is faith,
Stronger than even sun or moon.
With hope and charity faith joins life,
Even in times of darkness, death.
Everyone who believes is saved
From this eternal light beyond – I shine.
