Matthew 2:9

• [Mat 2:9] Kings Of The East Are Riding, The

  The kings of the east are riding Tonight to Bethlehem; The sunset glows dividing, The kings of the east are riding, A star their journey guiding, Gleaming with gold and gem. The kings of the east are riding Tonight to Bethlehem. To a strange sweet harp of Zion The starry host troops forth: The golden-glaived Orion To a strange sweet harp of Zion, The Archer and the Lion, The Watcher of the north: To a strange sweet harp of Zion The starry host sweeps forth. There beams above a manger The child-face of a star; Amid the stars a stranger, It beams above a manger, What means this ether-ranger To pause where poor folk are? There beams above a manger The child-face of a star.

• [Mat 2:9] Shine On

  See the brightly shining star, As its radiance beams afar, Guide the feet of weary pilgrims To the place where Jesus lay. Like a beacon from its height, Burning brightly in the night, As the wise men followed onward, Safely guided all the way. Refrain Shine on! shine on! Beautiful star of light; Shine on! shine on! Cheering the gloomy night; Shine on! shine on! Sending thy rays afar, Shine on thro’ the darkness, Oh, thou fairest star. It is shining still for thee, With a glory fair to see, As it leadeth ever upward To the palace of the King. So we follow thro’ the night, Safely guided by its light, While our hearts respond with gladness To the song the angels sing. Refrain So today that star alone Is the light to lead us on To the feet of Christ our Savior, He our Prophet, Priest and King, As it brightly burns above, Sentry of the King of love, While we follow onward, upward And His praises sweetly sing.

• [Mat 2:9] Shine On, Bethlehem’s Star

  O wondrous star of Bethlehem! That in the heavens bright Shone forth to guide the pilgrims’ feet, Unto the Prince of Light, Shine on thro’ endless ages, While ringing thro’ the sky; His loyal ones still hear the song: “Glory to God on high!” Refrain Shine on, Bethlehem’s star, Send thy light afar; Tell of Jesus’ birth Till His glory fills the earth. O blessèd star of Bethlehem! Still gild with heav’nly ray The pathway to the Holy One Who comes to us today. Gleam thro’ the darksome shadows That fill the heart with fear, Till weary souls shall see the light, Knowing that Christ is near. Refrain O wondrous star of Bethlehem! Shine on; we too would bring Our lives a willing sacrifice, With gladness to the King. With joy we travel onward, Encircled by the glow— The glory of the fadeless Star, Jesus, whose love we know.
