Show Star of the East Star of the East, that long ago Brought wise men on their way Where, angels singing to and fro, The Child of Bethlehem lay-Above lay-Above that Syrian hill afar Thou shinest out, tonight, O Star! Star of the East, the night were drear But for the tender grace That with thy glory comes to cheer Earth's loneliest, darkest place, For by that charity we see Where there is hope for all and me. Star of the East, show us the way In wisdom undefined To seek that manger out and lay Our gifts before the Child To bring our hearts and after them Unto our King in Bethlehem! Eugene Field. |
