The Guiding Star

Harriet Auber • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12

Verse 1

Bright was the guiding star, which shone With meek and kindly ray To lead the magi to the home Where the Redeemer lay.

Verse 2

But lo! a brighter, clearer light Now points to his abode; It shines through sin and sorrow's night To guide us to our God.

Verse 3

O haste to follow where it leads, The gracious call obey; Be rugged wilds or flow'ry meads, The Christian's destined way.

Verse 4

O gladly tread the narrow path While light and grace are giv'n; Who meekly follow Christ on Earth Shall reign with him in Heav'n.
