Brightest and Best (Star of the East]
Brightest and Best
Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 228 hymnals First Line: Hail the blest morn! See the Great Mediator Refrain First Line: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning Lyrics: 1 Hail the blest morn! See the Great Mediator
Down from the regions of glory descend!
Shepherds, go worship the babe in the manger;
Lo, for a guard the bright angels attend.
Refrain:
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.
2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining,
Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all. [Refrain]
3 Shall we not yield him in costly devotion,
Odors of Eden, and offerings divine,
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? [Refrain]
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would his favor secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. [Refrain] Topics: Adoration; Angels; Christmas; Darkness; Epiphany; Gifts; God's Care; Story of Jesus; Nativity Used With Tune: STAR OF THE EAST
