5Brightest 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 the infant Redeemer is laid.

Christ's Birth.

1Arrayed in clouds of golden light,

More bright than heaven's effulgent bow,

Jehovah's angel came by night,

To bless the sleeping world below.
