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...MONNA INNOMINATA, A SONNET OF SONNETS: 11 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 45 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI EUROPE; THE 72ND AND 73RD YEARS OF THESE STATES by WALT WHITMAN A COWBOY ALONE WITH HIS CONSCIENCE by JAMES BARTON ADAMS BACCHANALIA; OR, THE NEW AGE by MATTHEW ARNOLD TO THE MEMORY OF MY DEAR DAUGHTER IN LAW by ANNE BRADSTREET PARLEYINGS WITH CERTAIN PEOPLE OF IMPORTANCE: FRANCIS FURINI by ROBERT BROWNING |
