1
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid
Star of the East the horizon adorning
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid
2
Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all
3
Say shall we yield Him in costly devotion
Odors of Edom and offerings divine
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean
Myrrh from the forest or gold from the mine
4
Vainly we offer each ample oblation
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure
Richer by far is the heart’s adoration
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor
5
Hail the blest morn when the great mediator
Down from the regions of glory descends
Shepherds go worship the Babe in the manger
Lo for His guard the bright angels attend
