Behold! the Star is shining - Is shining ever bright, It leads the Eastern sages With pure, celestial light; It leads o'er plains and mountains, It leads o'er deserts wild, To Bethlehem's vine clad summit, To Mary's new-born Child. 2. Behold! the kings are kneeling The King of Kings before, With Joseph and with Mary, They worship and adore; And op'ning then their treasures, Their Lord and God they own, With gold, and myrrh, and incense, Before His cradle-throne. 3. O Child of Mary! hearken, Still lead us through the night - Thy Love, the Star before us That shineth ever bright; It shines with Love eternal, With Love beyond the tomb, Still shining ever clearer Amidst surrounding gloom. 4. But whither is it leading? That Star of Love so bright - It rests above Thine Altar With pure, celestial light; For there is still Thy Beth-Lehem - That lowly, "House of Bread" -- Oh thither, Child of Mary, By Love may we be led. 5. Around Thee there in worship Our choicest gifts we'll pour, Our gold, and myrrh, and incense, Thy lowly Throne before; And when this lifeis over, And all its clouds are riven, Thy love - the Star we've follow'd - Shall be our Sun in Heaven.
