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 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom And off’rings divine? Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine; Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gold, would his favor secure; Richer by far is the heart’s adoration, Dearer to God are the pray’rs of the poor.
