Star of the East by Eugene Field
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 Tyrian hill afar
Thou shinest out to-night, O Star !Star of the East, the night was drear
But for thy 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 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.
