26. The Star of the East

1 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!
Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining;
Low lies his bed with the beasts of the stall,
Angels adore him in slumber reclining
Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all.
