Star of the east
Star of the East, that long agoBrought wise men on their wayWhere, angels singing to and fro,The Child of Bethlehem lay--Above that Syrian hill afarThou shinest out to-night, O Star!
Star of the East, the night were drearBut for the tender graceThat with thy glory comes to cheerEarth's loneliest, darkest place;For by that charity we seeWhere there is hope for all and me.
Star of the East! show us the wayIn wisdom undefiledTo seek that manger out and layOur gifts before the child--To bring our hearts and offer themUnto our King in Bethlehem!
