On Christmas Morn.
Tfc V fared across the lonely plains.
They dared the desert wny.
Above them moved the starry tralna
That real not night or day
One star from out the splendor shone.
A rift of heaven's own light
In fearless faith they follow e. I on.
Their eager face bright.
Throa klpRs were they of ureal renown.
And from the east afar
fntll It stood o'er Bthlehtii town
They tourneyed by the star
It stood alove a cattle shea.
And there Its light grew dim
To heaven a own Child the star had led
Its glory paled for him.
Immnnuol' A little Child
That very day newborn.
They knelt before the undented
That earliest Christmas mom
Uarh head ivns bent to give hini prulre
Their Incense, sold and myrrh
They offered him in glad amaze
Each humble worshiper
What gift have nj for Christ today'
Ve. too. have seen the Mar.
And we have found the lupp) way
To Ittihlehem afar.
Our gold, our myrrh, our iovensu sweet
