CHRISTMAS HYMN, by HARRIET AUBER First Line: Bright was the guiding star that led Last Line: Shall reign with him in heaven. | |||
Bright was the guiding star that led, With mild, benignant ray, The Gentiles to the lowly shed, Where the Redeemer lay. 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. Oh! haste to follow where it leads, The gracious call obey; Be rugged wilds, or flowery meads, The Christian's destined way. Oh! gladly tread the narrow path, While light and grace are given; Who meekly follow Christ on earth Shall reign with Him in heaven. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY NOVEMBER GUEST by ROBERT FROST AT CASTERBRIDGE FAIR: 5.
