When the stars were shining brightly

When the stars were shining brightly,
over silent, sand and stone,
through the desert God had led us,
seeking rest where we might home.
Our companion, friend, defender,
cloudy pillar, fiery light,
brought us safe through fear and danger,
to the morning from our night.

Verse 2 follows
