|
<p>As shadows cast by cloud and sun<br>
|
|
Flit o’er the summer grass,<br>
|
|
So, in Thy sight, Almighty One,<br>
|
|
Earth’s generations pass.<br>
|
|
And as the years, an endless host,<br>
|
|
Come swiftly pressing on,<br>
|
|
The brightest names that earth can boast<br>
|
|
Just glisten and are gone.</p>
|
|
<p>Yet doth the star of Bethlehem shed<br>
|
|
A luster pure and sweet;<br>
|
|
And still it leads, as once it led,<br>
|
|
To the Messiah’s feet.<br>
|
|
O Father, may that holy star<br>
|
|
Grow every year more bright,<br>
|
|
And send its glorious beams afar<br>
|
|
To fill the world with light.</p>
