CHRISTMAS HYMN, by HARRIET AUBER First Line: Bright was the guiding star that led Last Line: Shall reign with him in heaven. | ||||||||
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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHILD'S EVENING PRAYER by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE HYMN OF THE WEST by EDMUND CLARENCE STEDMAN PSALM 137 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE ROMANCE by FRANCES HALLEY BROCKETT STANZAS by GEORGE GORDON BYRON THE LAMENT OF THE OUTALISSI by THOMAS CAMPBELL |
