SHINE OUT, O STAR by GEORGIANA KLINGLE HOLMES

First Line: SHINE OUT MIDST THE AZURE, O STAR OF
Last Line: HATH COME TO REDEEM THE LOST SHEEP OF HIS FOLD!
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

Shine out midst the azure, O Star of the morning,
The Christ-child is sleeping in Bethlehem town!
The gift-child of promise, from yon sphere of the angels --
The mighty to save, though He weareth no crown.
Shine out in thy beauty, O Star of the morning,
The sources of light are a-flush, for behold!
The King, the Redeemer, the gift of our Father
Hath come to redeem the lost sheep of His fold!
