What Star Is This
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; John Chandler, 1806-1876 Hymnal: Gather Comprehensive #378 (1994) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: What star is this with beams so bright Lyrics: 1 What star is this with beams so bright,
More lovely than the noonday light?

Glad tidings of our God to bring.

“From Jacob shall a star proceed”;
And lo! the eastern sages stand,
To read in heaven the Lord’s command.

Impels us on to seek your face,
Let not our slothful hearts refuse
The guidance of your light to use.

To Christ, revealed in earthly night
To God the Spirit blest we raise
An endless song of thankful praise!
