What beauteous sun-surpassing Star O'er Bethlehem's lonely road, Reveals a rising brighter far, And shows the cradled God. The Star from Jacob see arise, By prophets long foretold; Ye Eastern nations, in the skies, His messenger behold. 2. While thus the Star its light imparts, A ray within doth shine. Which leads a few but faithful hearts To seek the glorious sign. No dangers can their purpose shake Love suffers no delay; Home, kindred, country, they forsake, God calls, and they obey. 3. Jesus, bright morning Star, our hearts Cleanse with Thy light within. And suffer not the tempter's arts To lure us back to sin. The Light of Gentile lands adore The Day-spring from on high Alike the Father evermore, And Spirit magnify. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
