A Poem
From Mrs. Eby • •.
—The Guiding Star—
That bnliant star the wise men
had led. not to a palace, but
to a lowly place where cattle
were fed. Oh they could have
felt doubt creeping in, when
they found Him there in that
lowly bin.
But they trusted God to lead
them right, though intelligence
might have paused at this sight,
To allow God’s son to be born
in that place, The rich would
have felt, twas a burning dis
grace.
No soft bassinet, where God’s
son was laid, no dainty pillow
for Him had been made. No
lovely layette but swadling
clothes, that covered His body
clear down to His toes.
And His lovely mother doing her
part, couldn't quite understand,'
but trusted her heart. As cost
ly gifts to her son were made,
gold, frankincence and myrrh,
the wisemen laid.
But, Oh! the joy in Mary's heart,
outweighed all the gilts as she
saw them depart, As the glory
shone round Him, ''God’s little
boy’”, and hers too. No wonder
her heart was bursting with joy.
We still hear the joy bells ring
ing today, for the little Lord
Jesus asleep in the hay.
