-::::''1.''
-:Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
-:Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid;
-:Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
-:Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
-::::''2.''
-:Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining;
-:Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall;
-:Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
-:Maker and Monarch and Savior of all!
-::::''3.''
-:Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,
-:Odors of Edom and offerings divine?
-:Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
-:Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
-::::''4.''
-:Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
-:Vainly with gifts would His favor secure;
-:Richer by far is the heart’s adoration,
-:Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
-Lyrics:''' Reginald Heber, 1811. '''
