Stars of Glory

Carol

Slowly

1.
Stars of glory, shine more brightly,
Purer be the moonlight's beam,
Glide, ye hours and moments, lightly,
Swiftly down time's deepening stream;
Bring the hour that banished sadness
Brought redemption down to earth;
When the shepherds heard with gladness
Tidings of the Saviour's birth.

2.
See a beauteous angel soaring
In the bright celestial blaze,
On the shepherds, low adoring
Rest his mild effulgent rays;
"Fear not," cries the heav'nly stranger,
"Him Whom ancient seers foretold,
Weeping in a lowly manger
Shepherds, haste ye to behold."

3.
See the shepherd quickly rising,
Hast'ning to the humble stall,
And the newborn Infant prizing,
As the mighty Lord of all;
Lowly now they bend before Him
In His helpless infant state,
Firmly faithful, they adore Him,
And His greatness celebrate.

4.
Hark! The swell of heav'nly voices
Peals along the vaulted sky;
Angels sing while earth rejoices
"Glory to our God on high;
Glory in the highest heaven,
Peace to humble men on earth;"
Joy to these and bliss is given
In the great Redeemer's birth.
