“STAR OF BETHLEHEM.”
Reading edition
Gentle-Faced child-flower— One of the least— Dost thou remember The Star in the East, Bethlehem’s hill-tops Flushing with morn, When in a manger The dear Christ was born? Lambs on the hillside Peacefully slept; Shepherds, abiding near, Faithful watch kept. Bright in the heavens Shone a new star, Guiding o’er deserts Wise Men from afar. White Flower of Bethlehem, Lo, it is morn! Shine on the manger Where Jesus was born. We, too, shall find Him, Though humblest and least, Led by thy radiance, Bright Star in the East.
