|
<p>When, marshaled on the nightly plain,<br>
|
|
The glittering hosts bestud the sky,<br>
|
|
One star alone of all the train<br>
|
|
Can fix the sinner’s wandering eye.</p>
|
|
<p>Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks,<br>
|
|
From every host, from every gem;<br>
|
|
But one alone the Savior speaks,<br>
|
|
It is the Star of Bethlehem.</p>
|
|
<p>Once on the raging seas I rode,<br>
|
|
The storm was loud, the night was dark,<br>
|
|
The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed<br>
|
|
The wind that tossed my foundering bark.</p>
|
|
<p>Deep horror then my vitals froze,<br>
|
|
Death struck, I ceased the tide to stem,<br>
|
|
When suddenly a star arose,<br>
|
|
It was the Star of Bethlehem.</p>
|
|
<p>It was my guide, my light, my all;<br>
|
|
It bade my dark forebodings cease;<br>
|
|
And through the storm and danger’s thrall,<br>
|
|
It led me to the port of peace.</p>
|
|
<p>Now safely, moored, my perils o’er<br>
|
|
I’ll sing, first in night’s diadem,<br>
|
|
Forever and forevermore,<br>
|
|
The star! The Star of Bethlehem!</p>
