Show The Christmas Star A little Star nil undismayed Stepped down the dusky ways of night Whltnfnoted smiling unafraid It passed tho orbs of greater light It held Its slender taper high Tho tiny splendors piercing far It knew Its time to shlno was nlrh For lot It was the Christmas Star A little child knelt In the dark With clear eyes raised and lifted face Sho saw the tiny traveling spark Move on from Its appointed place Tho tears welled so she scarce could see Its orb of brightness grew a bar Mother sho cried It comes to me It kissed my eyes the Christmas Star God Knows that both these things aro one The star that shines the eye that sees The answer to the prayer Is shown Unto the sinner on his knees On the long lanes of splintered light Descends the shining avatar But only tears of pure delight Could bring tho holy Christmas Star Grace Mac Gowan Cooke In The Sunday Sun-day Magazine |
