God said Let there be light and in the EastA
A star rose flaming from night's purple seaB
The star of Truth the star of Joy the starC
Seen by the prophets down the lonely yearsD
Set for a light to show the Perfect WayE
Set for a sign that wayfarers might findF
Set for a seal to mark the Godhead's homeG
And three Kings in their palaces afarC
Who waited ardently for promised thingsH
Beheld and read aright Straightway the roadI
Was hot with pad of camel horse's hoofJ
While night was quick as day with spurring menK
And light with flaring torch Haste haste they criedL
We seek the King the King for in the EastA
His star's alightM

-
The AngelsO

Soft and slow soft and slowP
With angels' wings of fire and snowP
To rock Him gently to and froP
Fire to stay the chill at nightM
Snow to cool the noonday brightM
And overhead His star's alightM
-
Pale and sweet pale and sweetQ
Maid Mary keeps her vigil meetQ
While Joseph waits with patient feetQ
Mary's love for soft embraceR
Joseph's strength to guard the placeR
Lo from the East Kings ride apaceR

I set it here beneath Thy FeetV
In token of Death's great defeatV
And hail Thee Conqueror in the strifeF2
And hail Thee Lord of Light and LifeF2
All hail All hail the Virgin's SonW
All hail Thou little helpless OneW
All hail Thou King upon the TreeS
All hail The Babe on Mary's kneeS
The centre of all mysteryS
