When marshalled on the nightly plain

Author: H. Kirke White, 1785-1806 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #127 (1917) Lyrics: 1 When, marshalled on the nightly plain, The glittering hosts bestud the sky, One star alone of all the train Can fix the sinner's wandering eye. 2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks From every host, from every gem; But one alone the Saviour speaks, It is the Star of Bethlehem. 3 In storm and darkness, once I feared, And, death-struck, ceased the tide to stem, When suddenly a star appeared, It was the Star of Bethlehem. 4 It is my guide, my light, my all; It bids my dark forebodings cease; And through life's storm and danger's thrall, It leads me to the port of peace. 5 Thus, safely moored, my perils o'er, I'll sing first in night's diadem, For ever, and for evermore, The Star! the Star of Bethlehem!

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #76 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When, marshaled on the nightly plain, The glittering hosts bestud the sky, One star alone, of all the train, Can fix the sinner’s wandering eye. 2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks, From every host, from every gem; But one alone the Saviour speaks, It is the star of Bethlehem. 3 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud--the night was dark, The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed The wind that tossed my foundering bark. 4 Deep horror then my vitals froze, Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem; When suddenly a star arose, It was the star of Bethlehem. 5 It was my guide, my light, my all; It bade my dark forebodings cease; And through the storm and danger’s thrall, It led me to the port of peace.
