22326. THE SILVER STAR
Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
On the brow of night there shines a silver star, On the brow of night there shines a silver star, And the wise men gaze on its heav’nly rays, Till they find the King, whose throne they sought afar, In the Babe of Bethlehem.
Verse 2
’Tis the lamp of God high hanging in the air, ’Tis the lamp of God high hanging in the air, And it guides our feet thro’ the royal street; There is sweet soul-rest for those who seek it there, From the Babe of Bethlehem.
Verse 3
Bring your gifts of gold, of frankincense and myrrh, Bring your gifts of gold, of frankincense and myrrh, For the King we own is on David’s throne; Let the holy Child your best affections stir; ’Tis the Babe of Bethlehem.
Chorus
Silver star, (Silver star,) holy light, (holy light,) Shine afar, (shine afar,) o’er the night, (o’er the night,) Till the world shall come where the young Child lay, And enter the gates of the newborn day.
