And lo the star which they saw in the east went before	A
them till it came and stood over where the young Child was	B
When they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great	C
joy St Matthew ii	D
	-
	-
Star of the East how sweet art Thou	E
Seen in life's early morning sky	F
Ere yet a cloud has dimmed the brow	E
While yet we gaze with childish eye	F
	-
When father mother nursing friend	G
Most dearly loved and loving best	H
First bid us from their arms ascend	G
Pointing to Thee in Thy sure rest	H
	-
Too soon the glare of earthly day	I
Buries to us Thy brightness keen	J
And we are left to find our way	I
By faith and hope in Thee unseen	J
	-
What matter if the waymarks sure	K
On every side are round us set	L
Soon overleaped but not obscure	K
'Tis ours to mark them or forget	L
	-
What matter if in calm old age	M
Our childhood's star again arise	N
Crowning our lonely pilgrimage	O
With all that cheers a wanderer's eyes	N
	-
Ne'er may we lose it from our sight	P
Till all our hopes and thoughts are led	Q
To where it stays its lucid flight	P
Over our Saviour's lowly bed	Q
	-
There swathed in humblest poverty	R
On Chastity's meek lap enshrined	S
With breathless Reverence waiting by	F
When we our Sovereign Master find	S
	-
Will not the long forgotten glow	T
Of mingled joy and awe return	U
When stars above or flowers below	T
First made our infant spirits burn	U
	-
Look on us Lord and take our parts	V
E'en on Thy throne of purity	R
From these our proud yet grovelling hearts	V
Hide not Thy mild forgiving eye	F
	-
Did not the Gentile Church find grace	W
Our mother dear this favoured day	I
With gold and myrrh she sought Thy face	W
Nor didst Thou turn Thy face away	I
	-
She too in earlier purer days	X
Had watched thee gleaming faint and far	Y
But wandering in self chosen ways	X
She lost Thee quite Thou lovely star	Y
	-
Yet had her Father's finger turned	Z
To Thee her first inquiring glance	A2
The deeper shame within her burned	Z
When wakened from her wilful trance	A2
	-
Behold her wisest throng Thy gate	C
Their richest sweetest purest store	A
Yet owned too worthless and too late	C
They lavish on Thy cottage floor	A
	-
They give their best O tenfold shame	B2
On us their fallen progeny	R
Who sacrifice the blind and lame	B2
Who will not wake or fast with Thee	R
