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 that Syrian hill afar / Thou shinest out to-night, 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 undefiled / To seek that manger out and lay / Our gifts before the child -- / To bring our hearts and offer them / Unto our King in Bethlehem!
