Bright Was The Guiding Star That Led

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.
