“His Star.”

Christmas Eve--and the mellow light Of the Star in the East was aglow O’er the Magi, hastening through the night, In the desert, long ago.

Christmas Eve--and the gentle light Of the Star in the East was aglow O’er the lambs, asleep with their shepherds by night, On the hillside, long ago.

Christmas Eve--and the golden light Of the Star in the East was aglow O’er a Baby’s brow, in the holy night, In a manger, long ago.

Christmas Eve--and the blessèd light Of the Star in the East is aglow, As it shone of old, through the sweet, still night, O’er Bethlehem, long ago.
