about

Tony: I gave up trying to read the music on this song, and made up my own melody! We often hear of the star, shining in the east; for the wise men, the star appeared in the western sky. This song is from Wales.

lyrics

Dark the night lay, wild and dreary moaned the wind by Melchior’s tower, sad the sage, while pond’ring weary o’er the doom of Judah’s power: when behold, the clouds are parted—westward, lo, a light gleams far! Now his heart’s true quest has started, for his eyes have seen the star.

Now, Lord Jesus, hear our calling, deep the darkness where we stray; how shall we, mid boulders falling, know for Thine the rough-hewn way? Lo, a light shines down to guide us where Thy saints and angels are! Now we know Thy love beside us; for our eyes have seen the star.
