Brightest And Best Lyrics

Stanza 1
Hail blessed morn, see the great Mediator down from the regions of glory descend
Shepherds go worship the Babe in a manger
Lo for a guard the bright angels attend

Stanza 2
Say shall we yield Him, in costly devotion
Fragrance of Edom and off’rings divine
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, myrrh from the forest or gold from the mine

Chorus 1
Brightest and best of sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid
Star in the East, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer was laid

Stanza 3
Vainly we offer each ample oblation
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure
Richer by far is the hearts adoration, dearer to God are the prayers of the poor

Chorus 2
Brightest and best of sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid
Star in the East, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer was laid

Stanza 4
Cold on His cradle the dew drops were shining, low lies His bed with the beasts of the stall
Angels adore Him, in slumbers reclining
Wise men and shepherds before Him do fall
Wise men and shepherds before Him do fall

Chorus 3
Brightest and best of sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid
Star in the East, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer was laid

Chorus 4
Brightest and best of sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid
Star in the East, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer was laid
Guide where our infant Redeemer was laid
