Behold! The Star Is Shining

1. Behold! the Star is shining -
Is shining ever bright,
It leads the Eastern sages
With pure, celestial light;
It leads o'er plains and mountains,
It leads o'er deserts wild,
To Bethlehem's vine clad summit,
To Mary's new-born Child.

2. Behold! the kings are kneeling
The King of Kings before,
With Joseph and with Mary,
They worship and adore;
And op'ning then their treasures,
Their Lord and God they own,
With gold, and myrrh, and incense,
Before His cradle-throne.

3. O Child of Mary! hearken,
Still lead us through the night -
Thy Love, the Star before us
That shineth ever bright;
It shines with Love eternal,
With Love beyond the tomb,
Still shining ever clearer
Amidst surrounding gloom.

4. But whither is it leading?
That Star of Love so bright -
It rests above Thine Altar
With pure, celestial light;
For there is still Thy Beth-Lehem -
That lowly, "House of Bread" --
Oh thither, Child of Mary,
By Love may we be led.

5. Around Thee there in worship
Our choicest gifts we'll pour,
Our gold, and myrrh, and incense,
Thy lowly Throne before;
And when this lifeis over,
And all its clouds are riven,
Thy love - the Star we've follow'd -
Shall be our Sun in Heaven.
