Star Of The East

*
"Fifty Christmas Poems for Children", by Florence B. Hyett, [1923],

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 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!
