Text: | The Star of Bethlehem |
Tune: | [When marshalled on the mighty plain] |
Composer: | J. H. Ruebush |
1 When marshalled on the mighty plain,
The glitt’ring hosts bestud the sky;
One star alone of all the train
Can fix the sinner’s wand’ring eye.
Refrain:
That star alone my hope shall be,
That star alone can set the sinner free.
2 Hark! hark! toGod the chorus breaks,
From ev’ry host, from ev’ry gem;
But one alone the Saviour speaks,
It is the star of Bethlehem. [Refrain]
3 It was my guide, my light, my all!
It bade my dark forebodings cease;
And thro’ the storm and danger’s thrall,
It led me to the port in peace. [Refrain]
4 Now safely moored my perils o’er
I’ll sing, first in night’s diadem;
Forever and forevermore
The star, the Star of Bethlehem. [Refrain]
