On The Brow Of Night There Shines A Silver Star

On the brow of night there shines a silver star,

On the brow of night there shines a silver star,

And the wise men gaze on its heav'nly rays,

Till they find the King, whose throne they sought afar,

In the Babe of Bethlehem.

Refrain

Silver star, holy light,

Shine afar, o'er the night,

Till the world shall come where the young Child lay,

And enter the gates of the newborn day.

'Tis the lamp of God high hanging in the air,

'Tis the lamp of God high hanging in the air,

And it guides our feet thro' the royal street;

There is sweet soul-rest for those who seek it there,

From the Babe of Bethlehem.

Refrain

Bring your gifts of gold, of frankincense and myrrh,

Bring your gifts of gold, of frankincense and myrrh,

For the King we own is on David's throne;

Let the holy Child your best affections stir;

'Tis the Babe of Bethlehem.

Refrain
