07 - Brightest And Best

Hail blessed morn, see the great Mediator
<br>Down from the regions of glory descend
<br>Shepherds go worship the babe in a manger
<br>Lo, for a guard the bright angels attend
<br>
<br>Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion
<br>Fragrance of Edom and off'rings divine?
<br>Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean
<br>Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
<br>
<br>Brightest and best of sons of the morning
<br>Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid
<br>Star in the East, the horizon adorning
<br>Guide where our infant Redeemer was laid
<br>
<br>Vainly we offer each ample oblation
<br>Vainly with gifts would His favor secure
<br>Richer by far is the heart's adoration
<br>Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor
<br>
<br>Brightest and best of sons of the morning
<br>Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid
<br>Star in the East, the horizon adorning
<br>Guide where our infant Redeemer was laid
<br>
<br>Cold on His cradle the dewdrops were shining
<br>Low lies His bed with the beasts of the stall
<br>Angels adore Him, in slumbers reclining
<br>Wise men and shepherds before Him do fall
<br>Wise men and shepherds before Him do fall
<br>
<br>Brightest and best of sons of the morning
<br>Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid
<br>Star in the East, the horizon adorning
<br>Guide where our infant Redeemer was laid
<br>
<br>Brightest and best of sons of the morning
<br>Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid
<br>Star in the East, the horizon adorning
<br>Guide where our infant Redeemer was laid
<br>Guide where our infant Redeemer was laid
