P. M. 11, 10. Star in the East. RIGHTEST and best of the sons of the B morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. ; 2 Cold on his cradle, the dew drops are shining; Low lies his bed, with the beasts of the stall Angels adore him, in slumber reclining, Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield him in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and off'rings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gold would his favors secure ; Dearer to God are the pray'rs of the poor. 5 Brightest, and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
