Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #39 (2024) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Bright was the guiding star, which shone Lyrics: 1. Bright was the guiding star, which shone
With meek and kindly ray
To lead the magi to the home
Where the Redeemer lay.
2. But lo! a brighter, clearer light
Now points to his abode;
It shines through sin and sorrow's night
To guide us to our God.
3. O haste to follow where it leads,
The gracious call obey;
Be rugged wilds or flow'ry meads,
The Christian's destined way.
4. O gladly tread the narrow path
While light and grace are giv'n;
Who meekly follow Christ on Earth
Shall reign with him in Heav'n. Topics: Epiphany Scripture: Ephesians 3:5-6 Languages: English Tune Title: MANOAH
