Refrain: Brightest and best are the sons of the morning! Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star in the east, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer was laid. Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining; Low lies his bed with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore him, in slumbers reclining, Wise men and shepherds before him do fall. (Refrain) Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, Odors of Eden and offerings divine? Gems from the mountain, and pearls from the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? (Refrain) Vainly we offer each simple oblation; Vainly with gold we his favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. (Refrain)
